I stabbed a terrorist in the neck with a narwhal tusk on my first day out of prison | MY STORY

A convicted murderer who fought off London Bridge attacker Usman Khan with a narwhal tusk has revealed how he tried to stop the terrorist before he was shot dead by armed police. Steve Gallant, 46, was spending his first day outside prison in 14 years on November 29, 2019, when terrorist Usman Khan began attacking people at Fishmongers' Hall next to London Bridge. Khan, 28, stabbed to death Jack Merritt, 25, a rehabilitation worker whom Gallant had met in prison, and Saskia Jones, 23. Mr Gallant, who was serving a life sentence with a minimum term of 17 years for the murder of firefighter Barrie Jackson, leapt into action and alongside John Crilly and Darryn Frost, was seen challenging Khan on the bridge in footage that rapidly went viral online. Khan was wielding two 8in knives strapped to his hands with tape and was wearing a fake suicide vest. In an interview, Mr Gallant described the scene at Fishmongers' Hall that fateful day. He explained how he had been allowed out on licence to attend the London event alongside other prisoners, include Khan, in order learn about rehabilitation.

Steve Gallant's book The Road to London Bridge is now available for purchase.
