Pakistani teenager Abdullah Tanoli has been commended by a UK court for his courageous actions in saving an 11-year-old girl during a knife attack at Leicester Square. The incident took place last August when Abdullah, who was on duty as a security worker, noticed the situation unfolding and immediately intervened to protect the child.
According to court proceedings, Abdullah acted with presence of mind and bravery, restraining the attacker with the assistance of his colleagues until police officers arrived at the scene and took the suspect into custody. His quick response is believed to have prevented further harm and ensured the safety of those nearby.
The court praised Abdullah’s actions, describing him as a local hero whose courage and sense of responsibility stood out during a dangerous situation. In recognition of his bravery, he was awarded £1,000 and received widespread appreciation from the community, with many highlighting his selfless act as an example of courage and humanity.
