Rugby player took on all three terrorists before being brought down by stab wounds
It has been reported that the first police officer on the scene at the London terror attack last night was a rugby player, who 'took on all terrorists' before being brought down from multiple stab wounds.
It is understood the officer is in hospital in a serious condition, having suffered stab wounds to the head, face and leg.
The hero rugby player was one of the first to come to the aid of victims at the scene of the shocking machete attack.
A British Transport Police (BTP) spokeswoman said the unarmed officer was targeted by one of the three attackers who were later shot dead by police.
In a statement, BTP said: “He received injuries to his head, face and leg, which, at this time, are believed to be serious but not life threatening.”
“The officer is currently being treated in a central London hospital and his family are with him while he receives treatment.”
All three terrorists were shot dead within eight minutes of the attack beginning.
UPDATE: His condition is now being described as 'stable'.

I'd rate the brothers Hendricks a point or two lower. Jaden has really not delivered on his early promise and Jordan's kicking at posts was quite erratic. Amongst other things.
I was really surprised that DuhDuh was replaced and not Jordan. DuhDuh had a great game and just underlined his class in a backline that was not firing on all cylinders.
Damian Willemse was missed. Hopefully he'll be back to full fitness and have an injury free 2025 (and '26 and '27 and so on until he decides to retire to spend time with his grandchildren).
RG was great. What an athlete.
Very happy that Hanekom made his debut at last. He gave a good account of himself and will hopefully grow into his role on the international stage.
All things considered, this was another frustrating Bok performance. Even though it was a comfortable win, it wasn't a commanding win. This Welsh team should've been put away by a far larger margin.
But I have faith in Dr Rassie. He knows more than I do. Bring on 2027 😁
