One of the men who stopped the London Bridge terrorist is a convicted murderer
The quick-thinking bystanders who ran towards danger to help others during a terrorist attack on London Bridge swiftly earned the title of "heroes."
But for the family of 21-year-old Amanda Champion, who was murdered in 2003, one of the men who intervened as the fatal knifing unfolded is anything but heroic.
Convicted murderer James Ford, 42, was on day release from prison on Friday when he saw the attack unfolding and rushed to help during the chaos.
According to British media reports, Ford had attended the same prisoner rehabilitation event as 28-year-old attacker Usman Khan, a convicted Islamist terrorist, who killed two people before being shot dead by police.

In the event, they were all put together in a high-calibre Group F alongside Germany, who will play all their group games in Munich. That is where Joachim Loew's team will face France in their first match on June 16 and then Portugal on June 20.
