Dramatic footage has been released showing the moment a team of off-duty police stepped in to stop a knife attack in the south London on July 21, 2023. Officers were hanging out at a nearby bar when they became aware of a violent fight between two men, one of whom was holding a large knife.
The team appeared to rush to separate the victim from the attacker, who threw the knife at officers and tried to flee but was quickly apprehended, according to BBC.
“They put themselves at real risk of serious injury in order to prevent serious harm,” said Inspector Jon Summers, describing the officers' actions as heroic and “nothing short of outstanding”.
The victim received first aid and was taken to the hospital as he had a head injury. The attacker, Joseph Jimenez, 20, was sentenced to eight months in prison for possession of the knife and four months in prison for assault.
