A British lawmaker was hailed by some as a hero in Wednesday’s attack on the British Parliament.
Conservative parliamentarian and Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood, whose brother was killed in the Bali terror attack in 2002, performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on the police officer who was stabbed and later died. About 10 yards away was the attacker who was shot dead by police after scaling the security wall toward Parliament’s grounds.
Ellwood, who served in the British military, applied pressure to the police officer’s multiple lacerations.
Photographs showed Ellwood’s bloodied hands and face from the police officer’s wounds while the alleged attacker was seen nearby.
The White House has meanwhile condemned the attacks in London/
White House spokesperson, Sean Spicer said Wednesday Trump spoke with British Prime Minister Theresa May and said that the White House applauds “the quick response of British police and first responders” and condemns the attacks.
Spicer says that the city of London and the British government have the “full support” of the U.S. as they investigate the attack.
The U.S. Homeland Security Department says the security posture in the United States has not changed in the wake of the attack.
