A day tripper killer a complete stranger in a “ferocious” knife attack on London’s busy Oxford Street, a court has heard.
Tedi Fanta, 27, allegedly brandished a blade and jumped onto 60-year-old Stephen Dempsey from behind just before 8pm on July 1 2021.
Two passing skateboarders leapt into action and hit the defendant with their boards in a bid to disarm him, the Old Bailey was told.
