London Bridge terror attack hero breaks silence

A civil servant has described for the first time how he fought off a terrorist on London Bridge with a narwhal tusk. Darryn Frost, who works in the Ministry of Justice's communications department, has spoken about how he grabbed the artefact from the wall in Fishmongers' Hall as Usman Khan ran at members of the public with knives on 29 November. Khan, armed with two knives and wearing a fake suicide vest, killed Saskia Jones, 23, and Jack Merritt, 25, in the attack during a prisoner rehabilitation programme. Despite footage showing Mr Frost and other members of the public fending off Khan as they moved from the hall onto the bridge, the civil servant's identity has remained a mystery until now. The 38-year-old South African, who has lived in the UK for 14 years, gave his account of the "horrible day" to urge people to unite against terrorism and raise money for the victims' families.
