Witness - Attacker had 'calm, dead-behind-the-eyes look'
A witness has told how she saw the 'dead-eyed' attacker riding slowly away moments after stabbing a soldier.
The shaken eye-witness, who declined to be named, said:
There was a lot of car horns and men shouting. At first I thought there'd been some sort of accident or road-rage incident.
But then I heard a woman screaming 'no, no, no, stop'. That's when I knew something more serious had happened.
I looked over to where the commotion was and I saw the woman running somewhere. Shortly afterwards a man rode down the road slowly past me on a motorbike. He had a crash helmet on but I could see his face.
He had a calm, glazed, dead-behind-the eyes look. He wasn't sweating, didn't look worried and wasn't rushing, it seemed to me.
