He had fallen from his bicycle.
A South Yorkshire Police spokesman said: “Our PSCO hung onto the man with other good Samaritans until help from the emergency services arrived.
“The man was taken to hospital by ambulance and is recovering well, but it has not gone unnoticed that without the help of those there, the outcome could have been very different.”
Anyone with information can call 101, quoting incident 424 of January 10.
