Darryn Frost is a civil servant in Britain's Justice Ministry. Last month, his image went viral worldwide after he bravely used a narwhal tusk to help subdue the London Bridge attacker.
A mysterious figure who used a rare narwhal tusk to help subdue a knife-wielding extremist on London Bridge last month has been identified as a civil servant in Britain's Justice Ministry.
Frost used the rare narwhal tusk that he grabbed from the wall to help subdue Khan even though the attacker claimed to be about to detonate a suicide vest, which turned out to be a fake device with no explosives. The intervention of Frost and others helped keep the death count to two. He said another man used a chair as a weapon in the desperate struggle."When we heard the noise from the floor below, a few of us rushed to the scene," the 38-year-old said.
The confrontation quickly moved onto London Bridge, where Frost and others - including one man who sprayed Khan with a fire extinguisher - managed to fight the attacker to the ground until police arrived. There had been much speculation in the British media about the identity of the man who used the narwhal tusk in such a dangerous situation. Video of the event showed him helping to keep the attack from being much more lethal.
