Journalist declared hero in London terror attack

Mr. Geoff Ho, a journalist declared missing during the London Bridge terror attack turned out to be a martial artist who took on some of the assailants. He is now under Intensive Care Unit in the hospital.

The Business Editor at the Sunday Express is one of several Londoners being praised as heroes after fighting back against three knife-wielding terrorists.

Ho was in intensive care after stepping in to break up what he thought was a fight, according to the Express.

The expert in Kung Fu and kickboxing was stabbed in the throat after he tried to protect a bouncer on the door of the Southwark Tavern in what turned out to be a terrorist attack in Borough Market.

Seven people died and dozens were injured in the attack, which started when three men in a white van rammed into pedestrians at London Bridge before going on a stabbing rampage in Borough Market.

The three attackers were gunned down by police eight minutes later.

In a Facebook post, Ho reportedly wrote: “Don’t know whether it was stupid or noble to jump and break up the fight outside the Southwark Tavern, but two a*******s trying to do over the lone bouncer on the door isn’t happening on my watch.”

He is now being hailed a hero for his actions, along with others who tried to stop the attack.
