A man is being hailed a hero after he allegedly threw bottles and chairs at the London terrorists to try and stop them from stabbing more people.

Police appeal for photos and video of London terror attack

Gerard was near London Bridge last night when he claims he saw three men ‘in their thirties’ stabbing a girl fifteen times with kitchen knives.

As the men then ran into bars and pubs stabbing more people, he chased them down, directing police to them before they were shot dead.

Gerard told the BBC: ‘I saw a geezer on the floor saying “I’ve been stabbed, I’ve been stabbed” so I looked at him and he blood all down him.




‘Then I saw these three Muslim guys come up with knives, they ran up and started stabbing this girl under the train bridge. They attacked her and then they stabbed another guy.

‘I was shouting “run run run” and throwing bottles at them, pint glasses. I tried to help as many people as I could but I was defenceless. If I had fallen over they probably would have killed me.

London terror suspects were wearing fake suicide vests

‘They stabbed the girl maybe ten or 15 times.’

Gerard added: ‘I cried for one hour. I didn’t know what I was doing, I was on another planet.’

People are now calling Gerard a hero and thanking him for risking his life to help.

Someone give Gerard a medal ..if his account is true and proven he's a true hero

The attackers, who have been described as being ‘of Mediterranean origin’, mowed down up to 20 people with a white van on London Bridge at 50mph last night.

The attackers then went on a stabbing rampage near the Borough Market area and one man was reportedly stabbed five times in the chest.

Six people were killed and 20 others injured in the attack which took place shortly after 10pm.
