Abdullah, who works at TWG Tea shop, said: ‘I saw that he was stabbing a kid. I jumped on him, pulled the hand in which he was carrying a knife and put him down on the floor and just [held] him and [kicked] the knife away from him.’

The woman and her daughter were taken to hospital by paramedics after the man, not thought to have been known to them, was apprehended by police
