Abdullah: The Hero Security Officer Who Foiled the Leicester Square Knife Attack
In a moment of extraordinary bravery, security officer Abdullah prevented a shocking knife attack in Leicester Square, earning him recognition and widespread admiration. On duty at the bustling tourist hotspot, Abdullah intervened when a man launched a brutal daylight assault on an 11-year-old Australian girl and her 34-year-old mother. The attacker, a 32-year-old man, had the terrified schoolgirl in a headlock and had stabbed her eight times when Abdullah, stationed near the TWG tea shop, swiftly disarmed him. The suspect, later identified as Loan Pintaru, has since been charged with attempted murder.
