Glavan Menezes has been attempting to contact the person to thank them for their kind gesture on January 7.

Race to the hospital

In the early hours of January 7, when much of Glasgow was covered with snow, Glavan and his wife set off from their home and were racing to hospital.

However, their car got stuck at the top of the hill on Battlefield Road.

The kind person pushed the car to help get Glavan moving again - and face-planted into the snowy road doing so.

Glavan wasn’t able to stop and thank the person because - what the kind-hearted individual did not know - he was rushing his wife to the hospital as she was in labour.

The story has a happy ending, as Glavan’s wife gave birth later that day, with little baby Luca entering the world.

Thanks

Glavan has posted messages on Battlefield social media pages in a bid to reach the person - but has so far not managed to thank them.

His post ended: “We are both very grateful for your help that morning. Thanks a lot.”
