Three Metropolitan Police officers who confronted the Hainault sword attacker have been honoured for their extraordinary courage at the Pride of Britain Awards on Thursday, October 23.
On April 30 2024, Inspector Moloy Campbell, PC Cameron King and PC Yasmin Mechem-Whitfield responded to the incident in Hainault, east London, as 36-year-old Marcus Arduini Monzo drove a van into a pedestrian, before emerging wielding a 60cm samurai-style sword.
