Abdullah, who has worked at the TWG Tea shop for around eight months, said he “heard a scream” and saw there was a person in his early to mid-30s “stabbing a kid.”

“I jumped on him, held the hand in which he was [carrying] a knife, and just put him down on the floor and just held him and took the knife away from him,” he said.

 

“Then a couple of more people joined as well, and we just held him until the police came, it took maybe three to four minutes for the police to arrive and then they just took him into custody.”
