Why does my engine stall when on start up and my brakes dont work although the pedal is hard like it is locked

Question:
we had just returned from a meal out when the brakes failed to operate but the pedal is solid when pushed down and the engine kept stalling as if the hand brake was on, at the same time it was difficult to start the engine without high revs and choke. now i cannot keep the engine running

Sounds like your brake servo has failed, it would help if you specified car / model / year, stalling can be caused by many components failing, since you have a manual choke I guess your car is 15yrs + old ?
