NHS workers create barrier to prevent London Bridge attacker from stabbing.

Last Wednesday evening, Olivia Gotts and her colleagues from King's College Hospital were on their way home from dinner when they witnessed a man being racially abused near London Bridge station. The suspect was shouting threats and chasing the victim down the streets of Southwark, wielding a beer bottle and a sharp object. It was a terrifying situation, and Olivia knew she had to do something to help.

Without hesitation, she and her colleague, Amber, stepped in and formed a human shield around the victim, linking arms to protect him from any harm. Their bravery did not go unnoticed as witnesses praised them for their heroic actions. Olivia described the incident as "pretty terrifying" and was particularly alarmed by the fact that most people were just standing by, watching and filming the altercation.

Feeling a sense of responsibility to help, Olivia and Amber rushed over to the victim and escorted him into the safety of the train station. The victim was visibly shaken and grateful for their intervention, quickly running off as soon as Olivia let go. Reflecting on the situation, Olivia only realized the risk she had put herself in once the adrenaline wore off.

She explained that having been previously mugged without anyone coming to her aid, she knew the importance of helping others in need. "If I ever saw anyone in trouble, I knew that I would help because I know how it feels not to be helped," she said. Olivia also acknowledged the fear that many people have of getting involved in dangerous situations, but she couldn't stand by and do nothing.

One witness, who contacted Metro to share the story, expressed their gratitude towards Olivia and Amber, calling them "heroes" for stepping in and potentially saving the victim's life. They also mentioned the prevalence of stabbing incidents in London and how heartwarming it was to see these young women stand up for someone in need.

In the end, Olivia's quick thinking and selfless actions were what ultimately prevented a potentially tragic outcome. It serves as a reminder of the importance of looking out for one another and standing up against injustice and violence. As for Olivia, she hopes that her actions will inspire others to do the same and not be afraid to help someone in need.
