The well-known thespian was en route to Stratford-upon-Avon to support a Royal Shakespeare Company fundraising event when he suffered a puncture near Shipston fire station.
Alcester crews were called to assist the motorist in need, best known for his roles in Star Trek and X-Men, and went on to change his tyre for him when he asked for directions to a garage.
Sir Patrick thanked the crews on Twitter, saying they went 'over and above the call' of duty, with a picture to go with it.
