THE owner of a Northumberland pub was praised for going 'above and beyond' for helping a young boy who 'collapsed' over the weekend.
Nikki Minett said her son, William, had a seizure while at the Easter event at The Falcon pub in Prudhoe over the weekend.
The pub hosted various Easter activities for families, including bouncy castles, an Easter egg hunt, a party fun bus and egg decorating.
The owners of The Falcon also own The Wheatsheaf in Corbridge.
She said the owner, Adam, 'went above and beyond to help' William on Saturday afternoon.
"My seven-year-old son passed out and had a fit while we were at the Easter event. The owner immediately controlled the situation, calmed my son down, took off his t-shirt to lay under his head and kept an eye on his pulse. As soon as the ambulance arrived, he carried him straight through to the paramedics," Nikki said.
She explained that William had been enjoying the party fun bus at the Easter event when he came inside, saying he felt sick.
Nikki took him to the toilet when he 'collapsed' in her arms and began having a fit.
"When I screamed for help, Adam, along with others, ran into the toilet, and he immediately took off his t-shirt to pop under my son's head to support it on the hard floor.
"He was then monitoring his pulse and talking to him to keep him calm whilst we rang for an ambulance."
Adam gave first aid to the young boy until paramedics arrived. The following day, a man choked and was again given first aid by Adam and saved in front of the full restaurant, the owners confirmed.
William was taken to the hospital, but Nikki said the doctors 'couldn’t find any explanation as to why it happened'.
He was discharged from hospital several hours later and is back home.
