A woman who was helped by a homeless man after becoming stranded when she missed the last train home in London has raised nearly £10,000 for him.

Nicole Sedgebeer, from Milton Keynes, took to social media to tell the story of how a homeless man called Mark stepped in to help her when she was on the verge of bursting into tears at Euston Station.

Recounting how Mark walked her to an all-night cafe as it was dangerous for Nicole to be walking by herself at night, she said she hoped the story would "make people look twice when they see a homeless person".

She has now set up a JustGiving page to raise money for Mark and other homeless people in the area. Within days of setting up the page with a target of £8,000, she has raised a current total of £9,780.
