England, January 24: A British woman who collapsed after her drink was spiked was rescued by a real-life Superman.
Elizabeth Caulwell, 26, was out with her sister and friends in a bar when her drink was spiked, causing her to collapse, The Sun reports.
She was carried safely to an ambulance by a mystery hero who then vanished, leaving her wrapped in his red cape, the only clue to his identity.
After recovering from partial paralysis in the hospital, Caulwell tracked down her Superman using the local paper in her hometown of Wigan, England.
Modest hero Paul Longmire came forward. He was out with pals in a costume borrowed from a friend when he saw her collapse.
Longmire, 23, said, “We saw Elizabeth stumble and go down face first.
“I tried supporting her, but her legs kept giving way so I just picked her up and carried her outside before the ambulance came. She was shivering so I wrapped my cape around her then left.
“It wasn’t heroic. I just helped someone,” he said.
Caulwell said doctors suspected someone tampered with her drink.
“I’d drunk three drinks when I collapsed. I woke hours later in hospital. Doctors were certain I’d been spiked, probably with Rohypnol or maybe GHB.
“I was determined to find who Superman was to say thanks and return his cape.
“Now we’re pals on Facebook. I dread to think what could have happened without him.”
