ARomanian chef thought on his feet when he hit an attacker over the head with a crate and let 20 terrified people into the bakery where he works during the terror attack on Borough Market.

Florin Morariu

Florin Morariu has been hailed on social media as a hero after taking in the people and apprehending the attacker.

The baker, who works at the Bread Ahead bakery in the market, told The Associated Press: “We were looking out of the window because we saw that everyone was agitated, everyone was running, people, women… they were fainting, falling and we went outside to see what was happening.”

He said when he went outside and saw two people stabbing others, he at first “froze” and didn’t know what to do. But then he went and hit one of the attackers on the head with a crate.

“There was a car with a loudspeaker saying ‘go, go’ and they (police) threw a grenade…. and then I ran.”

He added that when he saw that “people were desperate,” he let about 20 people into the bakery and pulled the shutters down.

In a video posted on social media, he filmed the aftermath of the attack as he raced through Borough Market.

He said: “Oh my God, it is a terrorist attack here.

“The terrorists cut the people on the streets.”

He was then heard asking for a weapon so he could protect the injured from further attack.

People have since praised the brave chef, with one saying “I believe Florin is a hero for bravely attacking one terrorist and for being ready to continue the fight”.

Another said: “You have my respect.”
