I'm no hero, says officer slashed in Hainault sword attack
Insp Campbell, who confronted Marcus Monzo after he murdered Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword in Hainault, east London, last year, describes the events as instinctive "fight or flight." Despite receiving a slash wound to his hand during the face-to-face fight with Monzo, Insp Campbell does not see himself as a hero but commends his team's heroism. Monzo is facing sentencing for multiple charges, including murder, attempted murder, and wounding, with Insp Campbell praising his team's bravery and emphasizing the importance of protecting the public.
