Bystanders reportedly used a whale tusk and a fire extinguisher to subdue the attacker in Friday’s stabbing attack in London.

Footage has emerged of three bystanders, including one wielding a fire extinguisher and another with a 5-foot narwhal tusk, tacking 28-year-old Usman Khan, the suspect in the attack. Khan was ultimately shot dead by police.

It is believed the tusk was removed from the wall of Fishmongers’ Hall near London Bridge.

Friday’s stabbing attack killed two people and wounded three others before authorities intervened, with three officers seen in footage circulated on social media surrounding Khan as he grappled with another person on the ground before police pulled a man off Khan and then shot the suspect.

This makes me exceptionally proud to be British

The attacker was one of a group of convicted criminals (including a murderer) let out for a “one day” supervised outing. For rehabilitation purposes.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the guys fighting back weren't British to begin with.

I remember a bunch of white guys in London beat the sh*t out of an acid thrower recently. Turned out they were Polish nationals.

He was supposed to serve as an example of the program's effectiveness.

Oops. That didn't turn out so well.

This isn’t a story of heroism but one of tragedy where the government deems the citizenry too irresponsible to own guns.

Obviously an assault whale tusk on full auto.

There is a bit of testosterone to be found in the Brits. Way to go!

I'd say he was rehabilitated. At least there's one less Kahn in the world tonight.

It’s a continuing mystery!

By the way, it’s way past time for Britain to legalize CONCEALED NARWHAL TUSK CARRY!

They're waking up to the fact their government won't protect them so they're now protecting themselves.

There should be a thriving market for 'Powell Was Right' tee-shirts.

The narwhal tusk guy was a Pole who was working in the fish market when the attack started.
