London Bridge terror attack: Mayor Sadiq Khan praises 'breathtaking heroism' of public during knife rampage

LONDON - Ordinary Londoners demonstrated"breath-taking heroism" in disarming a knife-wielding attacker who injured several people in Friday's incident at London Bridge, mayor Sadiq Khan said.

Videos on social media showed a crowd of people who had tackled the man to the ground, before being ushered away by police who then shot him. "Members of the public didn't realise at the time that was a hoax device, and they really are the best of us," he added. George Robarts, a translator who was on the bridge at the time, said the unidentified man had run through traffic and jumped the central partition to tackle the attacker with several people.Rob Underwood, a 65-year-old from Lincolnshire, eastern England, who was visiting London for the day, said he heard bangs that sounded like a firecracker going off and did not initially realise they were gunshots.

He is by far the worst mayor of London. It’s shameful how knife crimes have become a norm in London with this mayor, who promotes non violence against criminals.
