Nathan Newby went outside the hospital in Leeds for a vape and some fresh air one winter night, but his simple act of kindness ended up thwarting a suicide bomber. He noticed Mohammad Farooq looking distressed and agitated outside St James’s Hospital on January 20, 2023. Farooq, a trainee nurse at the hospital, had a pressure cooker packed with gunpowder in a bag and planned to detonate it at the entrance to the maternity wing. Mr. Newby, an «extraordinary, ordinary man» as described by a judge, engaged Farooq in conversation and eventually discovered the bomb in the bag. Farooq, inspired by Islamic State, had chosen the hospital as his target due to a grievance with nurses. Thanks to Mr. Newby’s intervention, the bomb plot was foiled, and he is now being honored with a George Medal for his bravery. A patient at Leeds hospital thwarted a suicide bomber after stepping outside for a vape. The patient, Mr. Newby, found himself face to face with the bomber, Farooq, who had a bomb resembling a pressure cooker. Despite the danger, Mr. Newby stayed calm, engaging Farooq in conversation to distract him from his plan.Farooq had initially sent a bomb threat, hoping to lure people outside, but when that failed, he changed his plan to detonate the bomb inside during a shift change. Mr. Newby cleverly maneuvered Farooq away from the building, trying to minimize potential damage if the bomb went off.The standoff lasted for hours, with Mr. Newby trying to build rapport with Farooq to prevent a tragedy. Eventually, Farooq asked Mr. Newby to call the police, offering his own phone as Mr. Newby’s was dead. However, when asked about weapons, Farooq revealed an imitation gun.Mr. Newby managed to disarm Farooq, preventing a potential disaster. His quick thinking and courage saved many lives that day.
