Cop pleads with group of terrified revelers holed up in pub to ‘get out danger zone’ as he warns knife-wielding terrorists are on the loose
THIS is the chilling moment a terror cop bursts into a pub and warns the terrified customers in hiding they are “victims waiting to happen.”
The officer tells how he must move the panicking drinkers – believed to be in the cellar – to a safe place urgently as blood was being spilled on the streets just yards away.
The police officer pleads with those hiding out to get ready to move, but most are too scared to follow his orders with some asking “can’t you just take us home?”
The uniformed cop then makes it crystal clear why it is so important they move to another location.
He said: “We are chasing suspects around London who want to kill people – they are going into buildings looking for people.
“You are all clung together in a place with no exit route….you are victims waiting to happen. Get your stuff and get out of the danger zone now. I need to take you out of the danger area.”
Many of those hiding out are in tears and clearly terrified to leave what they believe is safe place.
Then one man speaks up to say: “Why don’t we just trust them…they are doing the safest thing for us.”
Twenty-one people are currently critically injured in the wake of Friday night’s attack that saw men charge through crowds, stabbing people at random in and around London Bridge.
Three terrorists were killed by cops, with the fatal shots fired in just eight minutes.
The three-strong gang wearing fake suicide vests were shot dead by armed police after inflicting eight minutes of terror on crowds enjoying a summer’s evening in the capital.
The PM delivered a firm warning to those who harbour extremists in what looked like a turning point in terror policy today after the latest terror attack struck in the heart of London.
Following the third terrorist attack in three months Theresa May defiantly confirmed Thursday’s General Election will go ahead and issued a warning to jihadis and those who harbour them as she said “things need to change”.
