'Has anyone lost a fish?': Carp brought back to life after neighbour finds it on the pavement in Leigh

A fish found dying on the pavement on a residential street has been given a new lease of life after he was rescued by a neighbour.

The Koi Carp, named Binx after the character in the film Hocus Pocus, was found late at night in Leigh by a resident returning home from work.

To their shock he was still alive - her partner noticed the carp's 'tail flick' as he lay on the pavement.

They jumped into action - quickly pouring water on Bink to keep him alive before placing him in a pan full of water.
 

Recalling the moment she found Binx, the resident, who asked not to be named, said: "The fish was just lying on the floor near my house gate on the pavement.

"I’d returned from work, around 11.10pm, and my boyfriend noticed it, took a closer look and its tail flicked.

"So he ran inside to get some water as I poured my bottle of water over it to keep it alive.

"And then we put it in a pan of water as we had nothing else.

"I named the fish Binx as (he) went through a tough time like Binx in Hocus Pocus and was able to move on, plus I adore that film."
