DescriptionED Miliband ran into the middle of the road – just like “an action hero” – to aid a cyclist who had crashed off her bike in Kentish Town.

Ella Phillips, 29, thought she had suffered concussion when the Labour Party leader’s face suddenly appeared in front of her after she had flipped over her handlebars near the underground station in Kentish Town Road on Thursday. He whisked her onto the pavement and away from traffic.

She said: “He mysteriously appeared out of nowhere, a bit like an action hero.

“There was a bike in front of me which suddenly stopped so I had to make an emergency brake. The back wheel flipped over, and the next thing I knew my face was hurtling towards the ground. There must have been a fault with the brakes or the chain.

“Then, there was Ed Miliband’s face looking very concerned at me. I started to wonder how badly I’d banged my head. My first thought was that I was seeing things because I was still in quite a daze.”

Ms Phillips, an artist, had been riding her Etienne bike to her work at Holborn’s October Gallery, where she is an education coordinator.

She said she was surprised how “suave” Mr Miliband appeared.

“He kept asking if I was ok, if I was hurt,” she said. “He was there for a good few minutes.

“What added to all the confusion was that he was actually attractive and not geeky at all. Even the way he appeared was suave. He was dressed casually but he had style.
