Men detained under Terrorism Act after incident outside hospital that also injured taxi driver

 

Original target the Remembrance Service at the Anglican Cathedral.


Beyond words...

 

Could of been a lot bigger headlines if it wasn’t for the Taxi driver from what’s been said.

 

Well done him

 

Absolute bloody hero that man....!!!!.. whatever awards can be given to him should be...!!!

I listened to the officers front of camera report saying 'unfortunately one person had died'..... I suspect she wishes she could say differently now knowing the circumstances... 'fortunately'...

I bet his insurance company still give him a hard time..

 

Buy this guy a lambo for his taxi!

 

Seems to be an incredible act of bravery not to mention quick thinking. An absolute legend.

 

Won't be able to carry enough.

I remember one woman reporter asking after a suicide bombing in Afghanistan if the suicide bomber was amongst the casualties.

 

Take a bow, David Perry. That is truly outstanding

 

Just seen the video of it and it’s hard to believe he’s come out alive from that. Absolute hero and prevented a much worse outcome regardless of wherever the target was.

 

A definite candidate for a medal. And a meaningful one when you look at some of the medals people get for doing nothing in comparison,

 

Isn't the George Medal/Cross the highest that can be awarded to a civilian for bravery?

 

I don't know if the Cross can be awarded to a civvy. In this case, I think it should.

 

Until I saw the video, I was thinking he'd locked the doors once he was outside, which would have been brave enough, but **** me, having seen the video, what an absolute hero.

 

Incredible bravery and smart thinking. Humanity at its worst and best, sat in one vehicle.

 

It can be. The first ever one awarded was awarded to a civilian in Bridlington.

Think the bloke in the yellow jacket running to the vehicle is too! Coulda been facing anything

 

I was thinking the same. Big bang, fire breaks out. None of the people approaching the taxi seem to have associated it with an act of terrorism, seemingly there is someone else trapped inside. Try to help, not, feet don't fail me now.
