The 18-year-old man was stabbed during ‘disorder’ in Lucknow Road, Willenhall, on Thursday and friends rushed to Elite Hairdressing, Castle Drive, to retrieve the kit.
In the vital minutes before the paramedics arrived the teenager received first aid using the bleed control kit. He was taken to hospital but his injuries are non-life-threatening.
The kit was the first in Willenhall to have been donated by the Daniel Baird Foundation last October, the first of several installed by Kelly Addiss from the charity.
Mother Vikki Haywood said: "I am so thankful this bleed kit was used to save my son. Thank you Kelly who raises funds for these kits. Lucky one was down the road at the hairdressers near to where my son was, I am so grateful."
