No, they had their hands raised and open as they passed armed Police Officers. Most people present, civilian and unarmed and off duty police fought against the attackers with whatever they had. Some now dead and some in hospital fighting for their lives and that of others. Lagopus.....
Lagopus, do you have any information regarding the following report:
Witnesses said they saw two men stabbing people outside the well-known Roast restaurant in Borough market. A chef from the nearby Fish restaurant said: “I saw two guys with big knives downstairs outside Roast. They were stabbing people. The police were running away, they were community police. They were normal officers, they were running away."
What are "community police"? The report I was reading referenced the Guardian as a source.
