A WITNESS has claimed he tried to hit one of the terrorists over the head with a crate to stop the unfolding attack at London Bridge.

Florin Morariu shared a video as he ran through Borough Market in the aftermath of the terror attack, with the chaos including a victim covered in blood being led from the scene.

Speaking to the camera in a mix of English and Romanian, the man can be heard saying he tried to stop the attack, saying in Romanian: "I hit one of them in the head with a crate and I knocked him out."

The Romanian baker then says that three people were involved in the horrific attack, saying: "Oh my God, it is a terrorist attack here.

"The terrorists cut the people on the streets."

He then asks people to go get a bat for him, presumably to protect the victims still being treated in the streets.

Later speaking to the BBC with a translator, he said: "I threw the crate at them and I knew he was going to dodge it.

"While he was dodging it, I was walking towards him and I hit him in the head with a second crate that I had."

Florin was labelled a hero but said he simply "felt pity" for the person he could see injured on the ground.

He said: "I wanted to save both of us."

He said a moment later, police started to yell at him to run away, and that they were going to throw a grenade.

In the video taken by the Romanian baker, officers can be seen running through the markets, with one seen trying to reassure a bloodied victim that he would be OK. Throughout the footage, people can be seen on the ground, being treated by emergency services and bystanders hoping to help. One person can be seen having a bandage wrapped around his head. People have since called Florin a hero, with one saying: "I believe Florin is a hero for bravely attacking one terrorist and for being ready to continue the fight".

Another said: "You have my respect."

Other witnesses from Saturday night's attack have recounted how they saw people on the floor of a pub , with police swarming on the restaurant and warning them to leave the area.

The Met's Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley has confirmed that all three of the depraved attackers were shot and killed within eight minutes of the first call to emergency services after brave cops rushed to protect the public.

Confirming the death toll had risen to seven, Met Police Commissioner Cressida Dick praised the "extraordinary courage" of brave passers-by who stepped in to help those injured in last night's atrocity.

Commissioner Dick said: "Many, many people risked their own safety to help others and treat those seriously injured and to indeed confront the suspects involved.

"It's clear to me the courage of those people during and following this attack was extraordinary."

Following the third terrorist attack in three months Theresa May declared "enough is enough" and confirmed Thursday's General Election will go ahead after chairing a Cobra meeting this morning.

No terror group has claimed the attack, which comes after ISIS issued a chilling instruction to its followers to launch “all-out war” on the West to mark the start of Ramadan.
