A WOMAN knifed in the back in the Streatham terror attack is a primary school teacher who yelled out: “He stabbed me”.
The middle-aged victim is understood to work at St Bede’s Catholic Infant & Nursery School in Lambeth – less than two miles from the rampage.
She had run down the street shouting about being stabbed in the back as Sudesh Amman, 20, began hacking at innocent pedestrians yesterday afternoon.
He was gunned down and killed by undercover cops with all three victims now recovering from their injuries.

The Archdiocese of Southwark confirmed the woman, aged in her 50s, worked at the Catholic school, according to .
A source said: “We can confirm that an employee was injured. But we are not going to say anymore. We are looking to protect her.
“She is recovering and is doing OK but it is very early days. We just want to give her the chance to recover in private.”
Amman launched into his crazed knife attack at around 2pm yesterday – just days after being released automatically from jail for a string of terror offences.
The warped jihadi donned a fake suicide vest and hacked at terrified passers-by with a £3.99 knife he stole from a local shop.
Panicked people urged one wounded man to “stay with us” as he lay gravely injured on the ground after being slashed in the chest with a “huge knife”.
Dramatic footage then showed undercover officers swoop on the terrorist as he lay on the pavement after being shot three times.
The Met Police later said that three people were injured in the deadly attack but one has since been discharged from hospital.
FREE TO ATTACK
A spokesperson said: “One man, who is in his 40s, was initially considered to be in a life-threatening condition however, we are thankful that following his treatment at hospital, this is no longer the case.
“One woman in her 50s had non-life threatening injuries and has been discharged from hospital.
“Another woman in her 20s has minor injuries – believed to have been caused by glass following the discharge of the police firearm.
“She continues to receive treatment at hospital. My thoughts are with the victims and their families.”
Amman, from Harrow, North London, was sentenced to more than three years in jail in 2018 for committing terror offences.
But he was let-out on automatic release after serving half his sentence – despite concerns he still held extremist views.
WARPED JIHADI
A Whitehall source said Amman was released early from prison because there was nothing the authorities could do under existing laws to keep him behind bars.
The ISIS-supporting jihadi, who was only a teenager when arrested, was jailed for possessing and distributing terrorist documents.
He urged his then-girlfriend to behead her own parents and revealed he wanted to “purge society” after pledging allegiance to ISIS.
Amman, who once dreamed of being a biomedical scientist, also told her he “preferred the idea” of a knife attack rather than using bombs or acid.
In other messages, the jihadi asked if he could deliver a knife to his girlfriend’s home and said ISIS was the best thing to happen to Islam.
