North West BCU Commander Roy Smith said: ‘This is another example of the dangers our officers face on a daily basis as they go about their duty protecting the people of London.
‘Knowing that there were reports of a man in possession of a knife, this police constable and his colleagues ran to challenge and apprehend him – these are truly brave actions.
‘I have visited the injured officer in hospital and thankfully he should make a full recovery from his injury.’
