Australian Andrew Morrison was one of the victims of the Saturday attack in London perpetrated by radical Islamic terrorists that killed seven and wounded 48 more. Morrison was sliced in the neck, but managed to get away. Morrison's ordeal was described in a video obtained by The Guardian.
In the video, Morrison can be seen holding a bloody bandage to his neck and face as he's asked what happened. Morrison said he was coming out of Belushi’s bar in London Bridge where he had been watching the Champions League final, when he noticed what looked like a fight. He began to walk toward the fight when someone approached him with a knife and attempted to stab him.
Morrison said he attempted to duck the knife but was cut in the neck. After pushing the attacker off, Morrison said he retreated to the bar where he asked for help with his wound.
The cameraman asked Morrison to describe the man who attacked him. The Aussie was at first reluctant to say, but after some prodding from the cameraman, Morrison said that he "looked like a f***ing Muslim terrorist."
Despite his bleeding neck wound, Morrison appeared in good spirits near the end of the video, joking sarcastically about how well he dodged the knife.
Warning: The video contains extreme language
Morrison is one of four Australians who was wounded in Saturday's attack, according to a statement by Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on Monday. Candice Hedge is another, though the identity of the other two are currently unknown as Turnbull was "unable to say more."
Turnbull also agreed with British Prime Minister Theresa May that social media platforms should take more responsibility when it comes to extremist content being posted to their sites.
May said on Sunday that in response to the terrorist attacks, the British government will work toward regulation and censorship of the internet in order to hamper the efforts of terrorists who use social media to dispense information.
