Glasgow airport hero John Smeaton is in intensive care at a hospital in the Scottish capital after suffering a severe asthma attack last night.
The 32-year-old was working as a baggage handler at the city's airport last year when the failed car bomb attempt occurred. He confronted one of the men who emerged from the explosive-laden car which was on fire at the time and wrestled him to the ground as he ran towards the police.
Mr Smeaton, who was awarded the Queen's Gallantry medal, for his actions is currently undergoing treatment in Paisley, Renfrewshire, at the Royal Alexandra hospital.
An NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde spokesman said: "I can confirm that he is in the Royal Alexandra Hospital and that his condition is stable."
In separate developments, the trial of the two people accused of trying to murder hundreds of people with car bombs at Glasgow airport began on Thursday.
Bilal Abdulla, 29, and Mohammed Asha, 28, appeared at Woolwich Crown Court last week with evidence from their burning car including a laptop which contained videos of Osama Bin Laden and a draft of a will being presented by the prosecutor.
