Chaos at BC too. Loads of police and helicopters out.

Starting to become a regular occurrence of Jewish people being targeted.

What is BC?

I was talking to a Jewish chap recently that lives near there, hes practised Krav Maga at a high level for a long time and now out of necessity, is one that acts as security during services.

Birmingham Centre. Maybe not so Jewish though.

Much more likely Brent Cross.

It's pretty common that congregants help out with security in the past. People of all ages standing by the entrance and in the street.

The prospect and threat now is a bit more daunting. They don't give anything other than a high-vis jacket and a button to press.

I won't link it, but the coppers arresting him may get told off...

Yeah, they got some boots in to the head and still needed help from a civilian!

If it was USA, guns would be out and he'd have been shot. Our Police honestly look a bit pathetic when faced with a deadly threat.

I've seen it, ridiculous if they get 'told off'

Sounds like potential work for Lord Hermer.

I thought they were quite restrained, idiot refusing to drop the knife so a few reminders he isn't the one in charge

That location is directly opposite the Kosher Kingdom supermarket.

I've been there a few times, it's one of the most comfortable bits of London to be a Jew in.

Yeah, I've watched it a few times and also thought they were quite restrained.

Doubt it.

He's on the floor refusing to give his hands having just stabbed people and still (from what I can see) in possession of the knife. Don't see any issue justifying that.

We're so fortunate we have UK police who'll take on someone like that with just a Taser and no firearm.

Looks like a very timely and lucky response from the Police may have saved more victims

Watch the 2nd car in this clip react as the attack occurs ..

I'd argue they looked pretty brave and ballsy.

It's take a lot of courage to take on somebody armed with a knife whose shown a willingness to try and kill people armed with only spicy spray, batons and Tasers (which aren't always effective).

Great job by the response cops and the member of public who helped out.

They won't get any grief for that level of force. If anything I think they've shown a great level of professionalism and restraint.
