This "stranger" must be found

This is London report the case of a "stranger" saving a child's life by rescuing him from underneath a stationary train.
"The parents of a boy who fell beneath a Tube train today praised the "angel" commuter who saved his life.

Benjamin Nelson-West, four, slipped into the gap between the train and platform at Acton Town station.

A man then threw himself on to the platform and hauled Benjamin out seconds before the train pulled away."

I have reason to believe that the authorities are also keen to find this stranger. First they want to prosecute him for wilful disregard for Health and Safety regulations in that he jumped down under a tube train without first filling out a risk assessment form.
Second they need to check whether he has been CRB to work with children. He was alone in a dark space under a train with an unaccompanied child and if he has not been CRB checked then a prosecution must follow.
