“We’re never off duty”
On 2nd November 2024, off duty Met officer PC Attwood showed incredible courage in Luton town centre by confronting two men who had stolen an e-bike in a knifepoint robbery.
Armed with machetes they attacked PC Attwood, stabbing him multiple times.
Bedfordshire Police were able to identify the attackers and swiftly arrest them. They have now been sentenced to seven years in prison.
In this video, PC Attwood and Bedfordshire Police Deputy Chief Constable Dan Vajzovic reflect on the events of that day, what it means to serve and the courage it takes to go towards danger.
