A hero older man blocked a knife-wielding attacker from stabbing a younger girl as victims fought back with a bottle of Jack Daniels during Saturday’s UK train attack, according to a report.
The unidentified man suffered gashes to his head and neck while preventing the train attackers from slaughtering a youngster on the blood-soaked LREN train from Peterborough to London, Witness Olly Foster told the BBC.
Foster stated that people pushing through the train car left “blood all over the chair[s]” of the train with the travelers only means of defense against the violent assailants being a bottle of Jack Daniel’s whiskey, the BBC reported.
The incident lasted 10 to 15 minutes in total, though Foster said the violent spree “felt like forever.”
No motive for the attack has been given, but British terror cops were probing the incident.
Two men were taken into custody after being tasered by police after the train stopped at the LREN station.
Ten people were taken from Huntingdon station with nine suffering life-threatening injuries as a result of the attacks, according to officials.
During the attack, travelers struggled to run through the train cars to avoid further carnage at the hands of the assailants.
“They were making their way through the carriage to get away from the suspects. They were extremely bloodied,” a man using the name Gavin told Sky News.
That witness said the suspect was carrying “quite a large knife” and was “running rampant” during the ghastly stabbing.
