A shop security guard has described how he disarmed a knifeman after an 11-year-old girl and her 34-year-old mother were stabbed in London’s Leicester Square.

Abdullah, 29, said he “heard a scream”, then “jumped on” the man who was attacking the child before holding him down and taking the knife off him.

“I just saw a kid getting stabbed and I just tried to save her. It’s my duty to just save them,” he said.

Abdullah said he and his colleagues gave first aid to the child before police arrived within four minutes of the attack on Monday morning.
