Insp. Moloy Campbell confronted Marcus Monzo, who had just murdered schoolboy Daniel Anjorin with a samurai sword. Despite sustaining a slash wound during the encounter, Campbell downplayed his own heroism, crediting his team's heroic efforts in stopping Monzo's rampage. The series of attacks began when Monzo ran down pedestrian Donato Iwule before fatally attacking 14-year-old Daniel. Campbell expressed that, in the face of danger, his instincts drove him to preserve life by disarming Monzo, reflecting the dedication drilled into police officers to act decisively in crises.
"It's a natural instinct: fight or flight, and in that moment it was fight. There was emotion after the event and after it all died down, but there was no fear."
"The only feeling I had was the need to complete what had to be done, which was disarming Mr Monzo and ultimately the preservation of life."
