Bloodied victims of London Bridge terror attack hid in Borough Market pub, video footage shows
THIS is the moment a bloodied victim of the London Bridge attack is nursed on the floor of a pub as chaos erupts around them.
The victim is covered in blood as a compression is applied to their wounds by someone who appears to be a police officer.
A police officer can be heard yelling at drinkers at the Globe pub to move upstairs, away from the carnage at London Bridge on Saturday night.
Pubgoers had hidden beneath tables as the attack, which claimed seven lives and left almost 50 people injured, unfolded outside.
The condition of the person who was covered in blood in the video is not clear.
Jag Sandue was at the nearby Black & Blue steak restaurant when he said he saw several men storm in, armed with knives.
He last night told The Sun Online that he saw the man behind him cut down, with blood spraying on to the back of his shirt.
He said: “There were people throwing chairs and glasses outside and I thought it might just be a fight.
“Then I realised it was more than that, people were running.
“Next thing we know, they’re in our restaurant. People were screaming ‘they’ve got knives’.”
Wendy Clarke was also at the Black & Blue steak restaurant: She said: “As we were running out the restaurant, we saw blood. Blood was everywhere.”
Diners Jamie and Emma spoke of having to hide in the steak restaurant’s kitchen when three men stabbed people in the face and stomach.
Jamie said: “We heard lots and lots of bangs, and we hid under the table. People came into the restaurant and knocked a bunch of stuff over, like the till.”
An emotional Emma then interrupted: “They stabbed someone in the face and someone in the stomach.”
Witnesses reported seeing a bystander shot in the head during the attack.
Others said they heard gunfire, immediately ducking for cover as the Saturday night out turned to horror.
Police have continued to work throughout the night to contain the scene and ensure the safety of the public, with the situation continuing to unfold.
