A suspect in the London Bridge attack on Friday, November 29 was shot and killed by police after an attack that has been described as a suspect terrorist attack. Multiple victims were reportedly injured before the suspect — who was wearing a fake suicide vest — was shot.
It was a terrifying moment that sent shockwaves through the city and now we can all see the wild moments before it all came to an end.
Shortly after the incident, a video surfaced online which shows the suspect being pinned down on the London Bridge by bystanders until police could arrive. Once police arrive, the suspect allegedly was wielding a knife along with the vest before the cops fired the fatal bullet.
The New York Post has since shared the shocking footage:
Police officers responded to the incident around 2:00 p.m. ET.
“A male suspect was shot by specialist armed officers from the City of London police and I can confirm that this suspect died at the scene,” Neil Basu, the UK’s top counter-terrorism officer, told reporters, according to The Sun.
“A number of other people received injuries during this incident. We believe a device that was strapped to the body of the suspect was a hoax explosive device.”
There is still speculation as to whether there were co-conspirators in the attack. While the deceased suspect was tussling with bystanders and killed, another man can be seen slowly walking away from the scene with a knife in his hand. It is unclear whether he had the knife originally or whether he had taken the knife from the suspect.
