Spatula-Wielding Student Jumps Through In-N-Out Window to Protect Workers from Customer Who Was Allegedly Attacking Them

The 20-year-old — who is a college student and former gymnast, rugby player and parkour teacher who now does freestyle trampolining — opted to jump through the drive-through window and grabbed a spatula, the first thing he saw on a nearby counter.

“Thinking about it now, I probably would have been better off with a fryer basket, but it happened so fast,” he told the Times.

At 13:58 on 29 November, the police were called to Fishmongers' Hall[10] after Khan, wearing a fake suicide vest, threatened to blow up the hall.[11] Holding two kitchen knives taped to his wrists, he began stabbing people inside the building.[12] Several fought back, including a Polish kitchen porter, Łukasz Koczocik, who fought Khan off with an ornamental spear,[13] a South African, Darryn Frost, who grabbed a 1.5-metre-long (4.9 ft) narwhal tusk from the wall to use as a weapon,[14] former prisoner John Crilly, and Steven Gallant, a convicted murderer attending the conference on day release from prison, after participating in the Learning Together programme.

One of the people who stepped in to fight the attacker drove him back by spraying a fire extinguisher.[20][15]
