An ambulance came shortly afterwards and took the woman to hospital, with Lewis only taking his leave once he knew the woman was safe.
An onlooker said: “Lewis is not just a superstar but a superhero.

“Lewis and his mates called an ambulance and made sure they stayed with the woman until help arrived.
“He clearly has a massive heart. Good on him.”
Lewis, who was diagnosed with Tourette’s last year, has been staying at his home in London for the past few months after taking a break from the music industry.
The singer announced he was stepping back from the spotlight after he was forced to cut short his performance at Glastonbury festival in June because he was struggling.
In a statement, Lewis said: “The fact that this probably won’t come as a surprise doesn’t make it any easier to write, but I’m very sorry to let you know I’m going to be taking a break from touring for the foreseeable future.
“I used to be able to enjoy every second of shows like his and I’d hoped three weeks away would sort me out.
“But the truth is I’m still learning to adjust to the impact of my Tourette’s.
“On Saturday it became obvious that I need to spend much more time getting my mental and physical health in order, so I can keep doing everything I love for a long time to come.”
During his set at Worthy Farm, Lewis struggled with his twitches on stage and told the crowd he was finding it hard.

In the film, Lewis, who comes from just outside of Glasgow, said he suffered from anxiety and hypochondria – a condition which sees sufferers worrying about their health.
Since he took a step back from public life Lewis has been seen out and about in London and in July was seen watching Charlton Athletic take on Aberdeen.
He is dating actress Ellie MacDowall and while the pair are rarely photographed together, Lewis said he was happy in their relationship.
Lewis said of Ellie: “I have a girlfriend and that’s going really well, I am happy chappy, she’s a lovely lady I feel good about everything.”
