'Ms Flynn noticed the knife, but couldn't say where it had come from, and saw the man "ferociously jabbing" multiple times at the children.
She said: "I let out a shout and asked what he was doing and told him to get away from the children and I ran at him and grabbed him from behind."
She said she grabbed the back of his jacket and when she pulled him away from the children, he turned around and looked at her. She said he seemed confused, "almost as if he wasn't expecting an adult or someone bigger to approach him".
She described a tussle in which Mr Bouchaker stabbed her in the back to the left side. She said she initially just felt something wet but it didn't immediately register that she had been injured.
Once he had stabbed Ms Flynn, she said Mr Bouchaker "went back to try to get to the children again". He was close to the children, she said, swinging the knife, but Ms Flynn followed him and shouted at the children to run.
She said some of the children had panicked and couldn't move while others ran up the street towards the steps of a nearby hotel.
When Ms Flynn shouted, "He has a knife" and called for help, members of the public intervened. The witness grabbed the arms of any children she saw and pulled them away towards the hotel, where she herself sat down on the steps as she was getting lightheaded and finding it hard to breathe. She recalled seeing two children beside her, crying and with blood all over their hands'.
Upsetting reading, this filth should be put down.
