Watch restaurant owner tackle knifeman in shop a year after son, 14, stabbed to death
- last year
This is the moment a restaurant owner tackles a knifeman in his shop just a year after his 14 year old son was stabbed to death.
The man was threatening a girl in his Caribbean food shop when Julius Cools stepped in to remove the machete-length knife.
Last November, Julius’ son Jermaine was fatally stabbed near West Croydon train station for which a 16-year-old boy has been arrested and charged.
At 14 years old, Jermaine was the youngest person to be stabbed and killed in London in 2021, a year in which 30 teenagers lost their lives, setting a grim record for teen stabbings.
In the security camera footage, Mr Cools can be seen wrestling the attacker who is wearing a black jacket with a hood over his head.
