A HERO Black Lives Matter protester who rescued a Millwall fan says he hasn't been in contact despite hoping to thank him.
Martial arts expert Patrick Hutchinson carried injured Lions fan Bryn Male, 55, away from Saturday's melee
The Sun revealed that Bryn, a regular at the club’s The Den ground, hoped to thank Patrick who says he intervened because he feared Bryn’s “life was in danger”.
But speaking on Good Morning Britain today with four pals who helped him carry Bryn to safety, BLM hero Patrick said he would not "have much to say to him" if he did get in touch.
Patrick told GMB: "It’s not something I really focus on. The most important thing is that he is still alive.
"I don’t have much to say to him or anything to say to him. I would be more interested in what he has to say to me or any of my friends."
BLM HERO
A source said Saturday's incident should act as a wake-up call to Bryn who should “grow up and act his age”.
His son, 21, told The Sun: “He’s got a black eye.” Asked if his dad would want to thank Patrick, he added: “He probably would. Who wouldn’t?”
Delivery driver Bryn lives in a detached home in Basingstoke, Hants, with his wife and son.
He was among several hundred demonstrators who travelled to central London with the aim, they said, of protecting statues, including Winston Churchill’s, from anti-racist protesters.
Fights broke out and missiles were thrown at police during the protests organised by far-right groups, including Britain First. It is believed Bryn was attacked near the Royal Festival Hall after becoming separated from friends.
Patrick slung Bryn over his shoulder and four others formed a protective ring around them as Patrick carried him to the safety of police lines.
Bryn was said to be shocked by his ordeal and is thought to be recovering.
A source said: “Bryn’s a fanatical Millwall fan and is well known in that crowd. He’d always go up on the train for protest marches in London.
“I wasn’t surprised when I saw him on the news. He’d have had a skinful.
“It could have been a lot worse for him — he could have been killed.
“That man who rescued him, Patrick, is a hero. He’s clearly a great guy and he just swooped and got him to safety and away from danger.”

But the source added: “Bryn should learn from this. He needs to grow up.
“This should be a wake-up call. He’s in his 50s and I’m not sure why he’s getting involved in stuff like this.”
