The star of Cahnnel 4's 'Supervet' has more than lived up to his name, after he stopped traffic in Dublin yesterday to rescue a swan stuck in the middle of a main road.
Travelling through Donnybrook on his way to a media fragment, the ‘Supervet’ left his taxi, outstretched his arms and corralled the poor swan onto the pavement - before taking his jacket off and carrying the confused bird back to the Grand Canal.
Caught on camera and uploaded to Twitter by Fitzpatrick himself, footage shows the vet calmly halting a car with one hand while ushering the distressed fowl to safety.
On route to the next interview in Dublin this afternoon and we came across this poor confused fella who was stuck in the middle of the main road. Having experienced many Swan rescues down the years I knew I could help... mission accomplished...now happy and safe at home x pic.twitter.com/wXoOIk8JKP

Fitzpatrick, who is originally from Co Laois, said yesterday that he has rescued a number of swans over the years.
And judging by the video, we believe him!
