Security guard describes moment he tackled Leicester Square knife attacker
A security guard has described how he overpowered a knifeman who stabbed an 11-year-old girl and her mother, 34, in an apparently random attack in London’s busy Leicester Square in front of shocked workers and tourists.
Abdullah, who works at TWG Tea shop said he ‘jumped on’ and took a knife from the man who he said stabbed the child. He said his colleagues had administered first aid.
The woman and her daughter were taken to hospital by paramedics after a man, not thought to have been known to them, was disarmed and pinned to the ground while police rushed to the scene

What a brave young man wish him the best. Wishing the victims a full recovery ❤
What a dude.
Thank you to this man for his bravery were is sadiq in all this hiding because he feels unsafe how about the poor girl and woman or try organizing a knife amnesty sadiq , or how about taking actual responsibilities and stop fining the motorist for ulez , stop treating susan hall like dirt and answer her simple questions or is it because she is a woman
What about a the other witnesses that would have been there and also saw what happened. Is his the only witness statement we are going to see?
US has problem with guns, UK has problem with knives
Abdullah, what a gentleman you are.
How about the attacker? No description
Police in London are now useless, yet Londoners will carry on voting for Sadiq Khant. I'm not surprised it was a private security guard that helped.
I bet he votes reform seems a hard worker like reform people
Why does a tea shop need a security guard?
🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱🙄
He’s a security guard but can’t give a description of the assailant lol! Some watchman he is.
Man called Abdullah saves the day! The Guardian will run this as their top story for a week 🙄
humanity knows no colour
It was a black man that pinned the guy ehat lies is this
Abdullah, you’re an asset to this country. You are so welcome here ❤

Where are the so-called English men that are protecting the Country?

Two tier journalism, not telling us the attackers race is white and the saviour is a migrant
What an amazing guy.I wonder what the IDF asset 'Tommy Robinson' has got to say about that???
Thank You, Abdullah! 🙏📿
Thank You for your Love and Support.
Never trust the Gaurdian
If the uk and west thinks that illegal immigration causes problems , why dont they just straight up put a ban on it . And only allow legal migrants who have professional degrees . ?
Correct me if iam wrong
