My name is Inspector Campbell, and I'm one of the officers who responded to the Hainault sword attack. When I first got the call, I had a look at the log and saw that there were multiple people calling about the same incident, which told me that it was attracting a lot of public attention. So the first thing I told the sergeant to do was send people, and then I got my own equipment on to respond as well. When I first left the police station, I was heading to a normal stabbing. When we were about halfway there, PC King, updated saying police officer stabbed. Police officer stabbed. Now that's that's not normal. And so at that point, the risk assessment and my and my recognition of what was going on was through the roof. My first concern was who which one of my officers has been stabbed and and also what kind of condition are they in? Moving on from that, I then knew that the person needed to be confronted by the very fact that he was armed meant that there was no time for hesitation. You had to go in and you had to confront that threat head on. During our interaction, there was at one point where we kind of separate from one another and just looked at each other in the eyes. I could see that there was nothing in his mind beyond trying to, I think he was trying to cut my head off, and that was his sole intention. So that's a that's a fairly intense morning. My baton hit his sword twice mid-air as we were hitting each other. I think at one point, his sword hit my baton and it went down my baton and sliced my hand open on the way out. At the time, it felt a bit like a punch to the hand. However, I looked down and saw that my hand was open. And then, when I realised that, I realised that I was losing too much blood and had to withdraw. And so I jumped back and dodged another swipe from his, from his blade, and then, and then went back to the police cars and asked for a torniquet to be put on my arm There was only one thing to do, which was to try and disarm Mr. Monzo. I deliberately didn't get too involved in any other matter at that point, because the first priority was to try and stop further death and further injury I became aware of what Mr. Monzo had done to Daniel later on in the morning, in the hospital when I had the tourniquet removed, I lost quite a lot of blood and, And lost consciousness for the first time. I think when I came round, another police officer visiting me, I think he he presumed that I knew already and said, sadly, a boy has died, and that was the first I knew about it. I felt the wind be knocked out of me, and I felt like I was being sucked down into my bed. I hadn’t realised that that had happened. I thought we had achieved the goal, which was the preservation of life, and to learn that that hadn't happened. I was, I was gutted. I'm pleased with the family of Daniel that there was a conviction. And Mr. Monzo has been put behind bars for 38 years. I hope that that means something to them. Although it's never it's never going to bring Daniel back. But, I think we all would have been devastated if the trial had gone a different way. I felt humbled by Daniel's family. They've dealt with this horrible, horrible case, with dignity, with stoicism and with self-respect, and I it's something which I'll never forget. It's something which I'll take away. And it's something which, I've learned from, I've said previously that it's something which many, many people can, can learn from. I think they they handle themselves in an exemplary manner. And they've, they've done their own family proud. To my colleagues who responded that day. I can only echo what the judge said in open court, which is that they are a credit to the Metropolitan Police and they should be proud to put on that uniform and carry on doing what they are doing. They saved me from, worse injury. When I went in by myself. I had no doubt that they would follow in behind me. And they did. They did. And they were involved with me, doing their own tactics. And even after seeing two of their colleagues stabbed, one of whom was the Inspector in charge, they didn't withdraw. They carried on going at it until they had done the job. My recovery is fine. I've got a scar on my hand. I can't quite put my thumb up completely. Still a bit stiff, but in the grand scheme of things it’s alright compared to how it could have been.
