A POLISH chef named Łukasz has been identified as one of the three men filmed bravely running towards armed convicted terrorist Usman Khan on London Bridge.
The Pole, identified only as Łukasz, is the individual who approached Khan brandishing a 5-foot Narwhal whale tusk, according to a report from The Times.
Two other men were filmed attempting to stop the 28-year-old terrorist, who was wielding a huge knife at the time.
Khan had earlier used the bladed weapon to kill two people and seriously injure three others during a rampage that ended on the north side of London Bridge at around 2pm this past Friday, November 29.
In footage shared on social media, a white-haired man can be seen spraying Khan with a fire extinguisher while a third male rains punches down on the convicted terrorist.
With the help of several other members of the general public they eventually succeeded in bringing Khan to the ground at which point armed police step in.
Khan was shot dead at the scene.
Łukasz grabbed a nearby pole and ran at him, getting stabbed in the hand in the process but continued to pin him down, a co-worker told the Times.
Being stabbed didnt stop him giving him a beating. Łukasz is a hero.

(101,320 posts)as was the one named victim so far (an organiser - the conference was about rehabilitation of criminals, and the terrorist was there as someone recently released on parole. Another attendee, who helped one of the wounded victims, is a convicted murderer on day release to attend the conference). The hall belongs to the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, a guild who date back to the Middle Ages, and have things like ancient narwhal tusks on display.

(146,317 posts)They're legal to sell in the USA if they were obtained before 1970. The going price for a complete narwhal tusk starts at about $10,000 and goes up from there, depending on length and condition..
