FULL TITLE: The moment a have-a-go hero tried to stop a knife-wielding man fleeing stab scene... as police officers looked on

This was the dramatic moment a have-a-go hero stuck out his leg and tried to trip up a suspected knifeman just moments after a man was stabbed in the side at London's Notting Hill Carnival.

Despite the fact 6,500 police officers had been drafted in to patrol the carnival, the officers seen here in high-visibility jackets, appeared to be glued to the spot as the suspect fled the scene clutching a knife.

As these astonishing images show, it was only a quick-thinking shopper, laden with bags, who made any attempt to stop the suspect as he fled.

Scotland Yard said a 16-year-old boy had been arrested on suspicion of assault after the 20-year-old man was stabbed.

The stabbing victim. Anyone know what that is (a flag?) in his pocket?

A picture = worth a thousand words. A British police officer = worthless.

Well, let’s take a wild guess here and say it has the same colors as the flag of South Africa:

British cops have gotten soft since 1973.

Dominica?

And the person who tripped him will probably be charged for assault or reckless endangerment.....

[Truth29]

Did the police arrest the shopper for assault on the stabber?

[Squantos]

Bloody Hell !

Wankers !

British cops aren’t allowed to chase bad guys until they hear Yakkity Sax music. Then they chase them really fast.

Why did the clown media blur the face of the knife weilding perp???

Protecting the guilty!!!!

England is a lost cause. If there is a way to fix Old Blighty I'm not aware of it. They are about a decade further down the road to cultural ruin than we are.

But not to worry-we may yet overtake them!

Now that was funny!

“England is a lost cause.”

They need a new Cromwell.

Leave it to the biased, corrupt, PC, State-Run media, which is the same the world over.

My guess is that it appears the "Perp" (no "alleged" disclaimer needed here) is not a "caucasian" and might even be a "swarthy-looking" young male from a "Mid Eastern/South Asian" (euphamism for you know what....) country!

[Oldpuppymax]

Gee...blacks attacking blacks. Now THAT’S something new!!!! Who would have thought there would be black criminals in Britain. I though we had them all.

>>>Dominica?

Ding.ding.ding.ding - we have a winner! You can almost see the parrot inside the red circle. Arggggh!

Aha! The Lord Protector! They do, but alas they are not interested in such a leader. Socialism has rotted the national character to the point where the only leaders that can succeed are those that raise the dole.

Oh wait...that's America I'm talking about. Silly me.

Well, at least the "officers" look cool...

I saw the article earlier today and the face was not pixelated. Editor must've gotten a call from the legal department...
