An unidentified woman is being hailed as a hero for holding a restaurant door shut as terrorists tried to break in during the attacks in London on Saturday.


According to Wales Online, taxi driver Aksha Patel told Sky News that his passengers described the scene inside the Black and Blue restaurant, where a woman reportedly held the door shut as the terrorists attempted to enter, allowing diners to escape out a back door.

"How they described it to me was they were preventing the guys from getting into the restaurant. She actually knew they were bad people, basically, that tried to break in."

He continued, "She managed to hold the door for a few seconds, but they overpowered her. They managed to escape through the rear door, possibly saving a good 20 peoples’ lives."
