On 29 June 2024, Mr McCabe had just finished work when he saw police officers wrestling a suspect armed with a knife. He spotted another man covered in blood on the ground and ran to help. As the struggle continued, Mr McCabe used a police officer's leg restraints and wrapped them around the suspect's legs - while continuing to apply pressure to the victim's wounds with his other hand. Wiltshire Police said his "remarkable" actions helped minimise the victim's blood loss until an ambulance arrived. The victim had two stab wounds to the neck and additional cuts, but survived thanks to Mr McCabe's "resourcefulness and courage", the force said.
