https://www.spiked-online.com/2024/07/30/in-praise-of-southports-heroes/> Leanne Lucas, who organised the dance class, and her colleague, dance teacher Heidi Barlow, both 35, are reported to have saved the lives of 16 children by barricading them in a toilet when the knifeman was running amok. Lucas was stabbed and is currently in a critical condition, while Barlow sustained injuries that were not life-threatening.
> Then there was Jonathan Hayes, who works in an office in the same building as the dance studio. After he heard screams, he ran towards the unfolding carnage and tried to tackle the attacker and take his knife off him. The 63-year-old Hayes was stabbed in the leg amid the melee.
> Joel Verite, a 25-year-old window cleaner, was driving past the dance studio but stopped when he saw an injured woman on the floor. She told him there was ‘a fella stabbing kids up there’, and he immediately ran in to help. Along with two police officers, he tackled the knifeman to the ground.
