A Muslim security guard is being hailed as a hero for his brave actions during a stabbing attack in London’s theatre district. Abdullah, a 29-year-old security guard at TWG Tea shop in Leicester Square, intervened when an 11-year-old girl and a 34-year-old woman were attacked by a knifeman.
Abdullah and his colleagues subdued the attacker and provided first aid to the victims until emergency services arrived. Social media praised Abdullah for his courage, with many highlighting his Muslim identity and criticizing media bias for underreporting the story.
The victims are recovering, with the girl’s injuries deemed serious but not life-threatening. The attack comes after a week of far-right, anti-immigration riots across England, with authorities remaining on high alert for further unrest.
