Morrissey reportedly helped nurse a woman after she passed out in a New York book shop this week.
It is reported (via Queerty) that Morrissey was in the photography section of The Strand bookshop in New York on Sunday (September 23) when an elderly woman stading next to him collapsed.
As a source tells the publication: "Morrissey, who was there alone, immediately rushed to her side and crouched on the ground to see if she was okay. She had just lost her bearings and was fine. "
The source added: "He picked up her stray belongings and asked if he could get her some water or call for help. She declined and collected her things and moved on. But my friend said she touched Morrissey’s cheek in gratitude! Obviously, she didn’t know who he was, just was touched by this act of kindness from a nice British man… He seemed very shaken up and flustered by the incident and left the store soon afterwards without buying anything. "
This incident marks a rare positive reason for Morrissey to be in the headlines following a year of court rows with the NME and slamming England for 'foul' patriotism during the Olympics.
