Stephen was homeless and near the arena when the bomb exploded but the brave hero rushed to help people following the attack. Opening up to ITV news, he admitted it was "instinct" to help out with the wounded.
He explained: "Just because I'm homeless doesn't mean that I haven't got a heart and I'm not human still.
"They needed the help. I'd like to think that someone would come and help me if I needed the help.
"It was just instinct to go and help, if someone needs your help."
He went on to reveal how he helped the children that was injured: "It was a lot of children with blood all over them and crying and screaming.
"We were having to pull nails out of their arms and a couple of out this little girls face."
Steve admitted at one point he and his friend feared one woman would "bleed right out" so they both helped her until she received medical assistance.
He added: "If I didn't help I wouldn't be able to live with myself for walking away and leaving kids like that."
Since then, his interview has gone viral with many people asking to help find Stephen a home. One person wrote on Twitter: "Steve didn't think twice about helping another human but I wonder how many times he's received the same compassion. Can we please find this man to offer him a bed to sleep, food and clothes? I will personally pay for the stuff to help him out."
Another added: "It's often the people with the least that tend to offer the most. I hope this man receives the help and support that he deserves."
Someone else said: "Pls find this gent and not make him homeless anymore as a debt of thanks. It's the least we can do."
A Crowdfunding page has been set up in hopes to raise £25,000 to get Steve on his feet again and West Ham football club co-chairman David Sullivan has reached out to help Steven.
On Twitter he wrote: "Me and dad want to rent the homeless man in Manchester a house for 6 months to help him get on his feet. If anyone can help us get in touch much much appreciated. Such a self-less act needs rewarding. Please tag anyone who can help us."
People began to search for Steven and according to Dave with the help of a charity and ITV they managed to find him! He tweeted the incredible news: "WE HAVE FOUND STEVE! Shows the power for good social media has. Thank you to all those involved, you have helped change a mans life."
Wow! Stephen just goes proves there are amazing people in the world.
