A Good Samaritan was given a parking ticket - after he pulled over to help a heart attack victim in Germany.

First aider Steve Schiltenwolf, 42, of Wolfratshausen, spotted the woman collapse in the street and pulled up to give her help.

"I could see something really bad had happened and did what I could to help. I knew the best thing was to just get her an ambulance and the last thing I was thinking about was where and how long I could park my car," he said.

"I waited with her for the ambulance to arrive but when I got back to my car I found a traffic warden writing a ticket. She could see what I'd stopped for and I tried to explain it but it didn't make any difference.

"I know traffic wardens have a reputation for being miserable and hard-hearted. It looks like it's true."
