Jeff Stewart, known for his role as PC Reg Hollis on the television series 'The Bill,' intervened during a real-life incident on July 23 in Southampton. Stewart helped police officers detain a suspect named Mohamed Diallo, who was trying to escape on a bicycle. After Diallo fell, Stewart sat on his legs, aiding the officers in handcuffing him. Diallo, 29, was later charged with five theft offenses and is scheduled to be sentenced on August 29. A Hampshire Constabulary spokesperson noted the unexpected nature of the incident.
