There were people passing by who were screaming and running away. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m still really shaken up.
Eyewitness Luke Huseyin
YESTERDAY’S terror atrocity was witnessed by scores of shocked people as the killers tried to terrorise Britain.
Eyewitness Luke Huseyin, whose flat overlooks the scene, said he saw the car crash that marked the start of the barbaric attack.
He then saw two black men, one armed with a gun, drag a white man across the road and launch a sickening attack on him with a foot-long machete.
Luke, 32, said: “They started slashing him up with the knife and hitting him in the stomach with the machete. I don’t think it took long before he was dead.
“There were people passing by who were screaming and running away. I’ve never seen anything like it. I’m still really shaken up.
“When he was dead, they dragged him out into the road and left him.
“It was strange, they didn’t run off, they just stood there as if they were waiting for the police. It must have taken about 20 minutes for the police to arrive – I think it must have been because they were waiting for armed police.
“The police officers got out of the car and the two black men ran towards them with the gun. The police shot them.
“They fell to the ground, then a helicopter landed. It must have been an air ambulance.
“The paramedics got out and I think they were working on the two men to try to keep them alive.
“A blanket was put over the white guy lying in the road. I just can’t believe what I saw.”
Another witness, who identified himself only as James, said the attackers set upon victim with kitchen knives like he was “a piece of meat”.
Fighting back tears, he said: “They were hacking at him, chopping him, cutting him.
“They were just animals.”
Joe Tallant, 20, a van loader who lives near the scene, said: “I saw a guy with no head lying on the ground. He had been decapitated.
“There were two black guys walking around his body saying: ‘This is what God would’ve wanted.’
“My friend and her mum were walking up the hill and the mum came straight to the victim.
“She asked the black guys: ‘Can I help him?’ And one of them said he was already dead but she could go.
“Then one of them said: ‘No man is coming near this body, only women’. She was so brave, she didn’t care what happened to her. She knelt down by his side and comforted him.
“She held his hand and put her other hand on his chest. I think she might have been praying.
