A shop security guard has said he tried to save an 11-year-old girl as she was being attacked by a knifeman in London’s Leicester Square.

The Metropolitan Police said a man, thought to be the only suspect, had been arrested after the attack in the tourist hotspot on Monday.

The guard, who gave his name as Abdullah, 29, and works at TWG Tea shop in the square, told the PA news agency: “I heard a scream, at that moment I saw there was one person, roughly (in their) mid-30s or early 30s, and he was like stabbing a kid.

“I jumped on him, held the hand in which he was (carrying) a knife, and just put him down on the floor and just held him and took the knife away from him.

“Then a couple of more people joined as well, and we just held him until the police came, it took maybe three to four minutes for the police to arrive and then they just took him into custody.”
