Good guy news time now, and the Wanted's Siva Kaneswaran is being hailed as a genuine bona fide hero-person after helping a woman who was being beaten up.

The singer had been strolling round the Chelsea part of New York City last month with his rep when he spotted a man attacking his girlfriend. Did he walk on? NOPE. Did he dither, uncertain, before calling the police? NOT THIS GUY. No, Siva ran straight over to break it up.

According to reports, the 25-year-old told the attacker to chill out, but the enraged guy responded, "This isn't about you!"

Not wanting any of that, Siva then attempted the hold the guy off and a scuffle ensued, during which he got punched in the eye. And he now has a massive shiner :(((

But his brave attempt at defusing the situation gave the woman a chance to escape, and then the attacker ran away too.

The Irish musician told InTouch: "I am no hero, I just wanted to prevent her from being hit."

Nope. You sound like a hero to us, Sivs.
