Attacker Iranian (possible links to organised crime in Pakistan), getaway driver....well, you've seen how fast people from a certain nationality drive here right? He was from there.....or should I say...here!
Apparently the Police did an excellent job and R's got nothing but praise for their involvement, support for him and his family and their total disgust at this type of rare but nonetheless worrying crime. They see this as a reflection on themselves so have done as much as possible to be personally involved at the highest level. Attempted murder is the charge.
Can't imagine the London Metropolitan Police Commisssioner inviting a stabbing victim into his office for tea, chocolates and a huge bouquet of flowers. They commended him on his bravery. In the UK they'd have arrested him for using excessive force and then he'd have got sued by the perpetrator no doubt.
