Pete Doherty is an unlikely Superman, but the junkie rocker rescued an old man from his upside down burning car. The singer was on his way to perform at the V Festival when he noticed smoke rippling from the windows of a flipped car. The Sun reports:

⿿They saw the overturned car billowing with smoke in the middle of the carriageway. They stopped and pulled a guy in his 50s from the vehicle. He had hit a concrete block on the side of the road and the car flipped over.”

⿿The man was insisting that he had only had a few fruit juices, but they thought he was protesting a bit too much.⿿

Pete and band managed to make it to their gig four hours late after the incident. They played, partied, and left. Than got arrested. Doherty and another man and women were pulled over for drug possession as they left for home. One more drug offense and the boy is done. (Last month a judge gave him his final warning.) The Daily Mail is there:

Later Doherty, 28, was reported to have been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs in the early hours of this morning. The 28-year-old singer was arrested in the Tower Hamlets area of east London at about 2am today.

His lawyer Sean Curran confirmed Doherty is being held at Bethnal Green police station after the car he was travelling in was stopped by police.

I think he’s inocent this time. His junkie buddies won’t get sober just because he must.
