A convicted killer who used a narwhal tusk to help bring down Fishmongers Hall terrorist Usman Khan during his London Bridge rampage has been directed for early release from prison. Steven Gallant, who was jailed for life with a minimum term of 17 years in 2005 for the murder of a firefighter in Hull, was one of three men who restrained Khan until armed police arrived at the scene and shot the 28-year-old jihadist dead in November 2019.
Khan, who had two large knives and a fake suicide belt, fatally stabbed Cambridge graduates Jack Merritt, 25, and Saskia Jones, 23, and injured three other people during his frenzied attack at a prisoner rehabilitation event before running out onto London Bridge.
