Leicester Square:Hero eyewitness stopped attacker

A security guard who works at TWG tea in Leicester Square, said he intervened to stop the attacker who had blood on his face and chest.

Abdullah, 29, told reporters: “I heard a scream and I just went outside and saw one guy had a knife.

“The moment I saw it I just jumped on that guy and grabbed his hand… and put him down on the floor and kicked the knife away from him.”

He said a couple of other men also came over to help and held the man down for “four to five” minutes, adding he decided to take action because “I had no time, I just didn’t think”.

“It’s horrible to be honest; I’ve never seen anything like that before,” he said.

“To do this to a kid, it’s horrible.”

He added: “I heard a scream, at that moment I saw there was one person, roughly mid-30s or early 30s, and he was like stabbing a kid – I jumped on him, held the hand in which he was (carrying) a knife, and just put him down on the floor and just held him and took the knife away from him.

“Then a couple of more people joined as well, and we just held him until the police came, it took maybe three to four minutes for the police to arrive and then they just took him into custody.”He and his colleagues gave first aid to the child before the police joined in, he said.”I just saw a kid getting stabbed and I just tried to save her. It’s my duty to just save them.”
