Public restrains London Bridge attacker using 'Narwhal tusk', fire extinguisher

Bystanders were spotted using a 'Narwhal Tusk' and a fire extinguisher in order to restrain the London Bridge attacker. Several video clips shared in social media show members of the public being overwhelmed by the knife-wielding terrorist with police pulling a man in jeans away from the suspect just before firing. There is also another footage in which a person is seen spraying the attacker with a fire extinguisher while another attacks him with a large white pole, later confirmed by a Twitter user and witness as a 'Narwhal Tusk' he got from the wall at Fishmongers' Hall. As per reports, the man who used the Tusk happens to be a Polish chef at the hall who ran towards the terrorist with the sea creature’s tusk after the terrorist threatened to set off an explosive. The tusk is worth several thousand pounds and were once highly sought-after objects by Europeans, who considered the animal a "sea unicorn". Queen Elizabeth I is said to have spent £10,000 on a narwhal Tusk in the 18th century.
