Hero taxi driver reveals how he tried to knock down three men ‘armed with 12in knives’ as they went on a stabbing rampage in London after running over up to 20 people with a white van.
A hero taxi driver has revealed how he tried to knock down three men armed with 12-inch hunting knives who reportedly stabbed pedestrians after mowing down up to 20 people with a white van on London Bridge.
Witnesses reported hearing ‘rapid gunfire’ amid reports that least seven people have been stabbed, leaving bodies ‘strewn’ on the road in central London. One of the casualties is reportedly a police officer.
But amid the horror a cabbie – who said he saw the men brandishing ‘long blades’ stabbing ‘randomly’ on Borough High Street – spun around his vehicle and attempted to halt the terror.
Speaking to LBC, he said: ‘I thought, “I’m gonna try and hit him, I’m gonna try and knock him down”.
‘I spun the cab round, I was about to ram one of them, but he side-stepped and three police officers came running towards them with their batons drawn.
‘I was shouting at everybody, just get away from the area, stay back, just run the other way. There were a good few hundred people out there.’
The driver, who did not identify himself, continued: ‘He’s veered across the road towards the right hand of where Southwark Cathedral is and rammed it where the steps are.
‘He just rammed it towards them, wedged it in between the lamppost and the steps and so he’s hit people there.
‘They’ve jumped out of the van and started stabbing people randomly. There was a scattering of people.’
