A Police officer told the Old Bailey she “didn’t see any paramedics” when treating an injured man during the London Bridge attack.
PC Mia Kerr told an inquest about her efforts to help victims.
On June 3 2017, Kerr and her partner drove to Borough High Street.
She told the Old Bailey in Central London she suspected it might be a terrorist attack.
As a result, the officer treated victims in a courtyard near the Barrowboy and Banker pub.
Kerr was in the courtyard for thirty minutes.
“I didn’t see any paramedics,” she told Chief coroner Mark Lucraft QC.
‘I didn’t want there to be any more casualties’
The officer told the inquest she saw a man on the floor, who looked “seriously injured”.
“I didn’t want there to be any more casualties,” she said.
Consequently, Kerr said she drew her baton to protect the people assisting an injured man.
Afterward, this man was later revealed as Sébastien Belanger, who was one of eight victims who died from the attack.
Furthermore, PC Kerr told the court she would have gotten Belanger up to ambulances if they’d been made aware they were there.
Inquest continues
Sebastien Belanger, 36, was a French Chef who had been watching football with friends at a nearby pub.
He was one of three French victims killed in the attack.
On June 3 2017 eight people were killed and 48 injured when three attackers drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge.
Following this they launched a knife attack in nearby Borough Market.
The men were shot dead by police, who arrived at the scene of the attack within eight minutes.
The inquest continues today at the Old Bailey, where it’s expected to hear about the attack on victim James McMullen.
Yesterday City News reported on the man who came “nose-to-nose” with one of the three terrorists.
