A HERO window cleaner has recalled how he was first on the scene to help save injured children from the horrifying knife attack in Southport. Marcin Tyjon, 41, was driving down the road with colleague Joel Verite, 26, when they heard terrifying screams and saw kids running down the street.
With no regard for his own safety, Marcin bravely gave CPR to one young victim as twisted killer Axel Rudakubana, 28, went on a stabbing rampage inside the Hart Space. He said: “We drove maybe 10 metres closer and out of the corner of my eye I noticed a bleeding woman lying on the pavement, leaning against the car.
“We stopped, backed up and she started screaming. “She started saying that there was someone inside and killing children.”. Marcin, originally from Poland, ran to the Hart Space where 26 children had been attending a Taylor Swift dance class. He added: “Everyone was screaming.”.
Marcin said that his friend, Joel, ran out of the building. He said: “People started running from the area, neighbours, they started bringing towels. “Someone took care of one girl, and I took care of the first one, then Joel brought out another girl and another one.
“I didn't even know that the attacker was inside. “We were in such a state of shock, in such a frenzy to save these children, that we didn't even have time to speak to each other. “From what Joel later told me, the perpetrator was standing on the landing.
