Knowing the man may have had a knife, the officers rushed to their vehicle and joined the chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergeant Jack Taylor jumped out to bravely confront the man who was violently wielding a blade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Body-camera footage shows the ferocity of the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The man slashed Sergeant Taylor and left him with a two-inch cut across the wrist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite suffering the injury, the brave officer continued to pursue the man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of his\u00a0Metropolitan Police\u00a0colleagues, he arrested the offender before he could hurt anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on the incident, Sergeant Taylor said: “I couldn’t let him go on and harm anyone else.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He continued: “As he slashed the knife up and down, he caught me on my left wrist and then ran off down the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I could see I had been cut but I knew if I stopped at that moment, it might give the suspect a chance to get away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I was lucky as the knife just missed my artery – I came back to work the next day.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Ghasem Arabzadeh, 35, of no fixed address was sentenced to a s37 Hospital Order at Snaresbrook Crown Court on Tuesday, 7 January after pleading guilty to actual bodily harm.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sergeant Taylor received a Commissioner\u2019s Commendation for his actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: “I’ve been a\u00a0police\u00a0officer for six years, but this incident made me realise the seriousness of the incidents police face every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t consider myself brave, but my colleagues are – they put themselves out there and deal with serious situations on a daily basis.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detective Superintendent Vicky Tunstall, Neighbourhood Policing’s Lead in Tower Hamlets’ said: “Acting Police Sergeant Jack Taylor showed incredible courage to take on a knife-wielding offender without any consideration for himself, in order to save those around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Without hesitation and with quick thinking, Jack jumped out of the car and put himself in harm’s way, and if he hadn’t, a member of the pubic could have been seriously harmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is the kind of bravery that is routinely undertaken each day by our police officers and demonstrates selflessness in order to protect our communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Myself and the team are immensely proud of Jack and he has been duly awarded with a Commissioners Commendation to reflect this act of bravery.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
