“We were trying to do as much as we could to try and dislodge the knife from his hand so he wouldn’t harm anyone else.” 👏
“When we got there he was wielding two knives, one was duct-taped to his hand so all I could do after the guys had held him down and were pinning him to the ground, tried to stamp as hard as I could on his wrist to try and release the knife as it were.
“At that point, saw a guy get shot a couple of times and then I hit the deck. I hid behind a school bus full of little children … got the bus turned around and they went back south over London Bridge. Tour guide Thomas Gray stomped on the terrorist's hand until the knife duct-taped to his wrist was released.
