Pakistani Man Praised for Bravery in London Stabbing Incident amid Far-Right Unrest

Pakistani Man Praised for Bravery in London Stabbing Incident amid Far-Right Unrest

LONDON: A Pakistani man, who gained widespread attention for his heroic actions during a recent stabbing incident in London, has called for unity and condemned the far-right violence that has plagued the UK in recent weeks.

The unrest, which erupted following a knife attack on children in Southport, was fueled by false social media claims that a Muslim asylum seeker was responsible for the attack. This misinformation led to widespread far-right riots across the UK.

Abdullah, a security guard at a tea shop in Leicester Square, intervened bravely when a 34-year-old mother and her 11-year-old daughter were attacked by a 32-year-old man. Abdullah subdued the attacker, who has been charged with attempted murder. Abdullah had moved to the UK from Abbottabad, Pakistan, to pursue a master’s degree in project management but took up the security job due to difficulties finding employment in his field.

In an interview with the Guardian, Abdullah expressed his concerns about the safety of his community amid the surge in far-right violence. “Everyone was concerned and scared,” he said. “My friends in Manchester were particularly worried due to the higher number of protests there.”

He stressed that the Southport incident had no connection to the Muslim or Pakistani community and criticized far-right figures like Tommy Robinson for spreading misinformation. “Tommy Robinson’s rhetoric is dangerous and creates security risks for people like me,” Abdullah added.

Following the incident, Abdullah received widespread praise, including recognition from the Pakistani High Commission. “It feels like Eid,” Abdullah said, reflecting on the support from friends and family.

Abdullah hopes to secure indefinite leave to remain in the UK and find a job in project management. Conservative peer Aamer Sarfraz praised Abdullah as a “real-life hero” who has countered the far-right narrative and highlighted the often-overlooked role of security guards in protecting the public.
