On Wednesday, a 52-year-old father of three drove his car at 80 kilometres an hour along Westminster Bridge in London in an act of terror. He killed three pedestrians, injured 50 others, and fatally stabbed a police officer guarding the Houses of Parliament.

Crews and crews of emergency services followed. There was the London Ambulance Service and the London Fire Brigade, alongside an extensive investigation from police.

One man, Muslim-born Ibrahim Dogus, kept his restaurant open – against police orders – to feed the emergency service professionals for free.

“I went to one of the officers and said ‘I can shut all the businesses, but I want you guys and all the emergency staff to use this place for food, drinks, and for warmth for free’,” he told The Independent.

“All these great people need our support. Some of them tried to give us money—one said, ‘I’m a police officer, you have to take my money,’ he said, ‘We’re not going to take any money from you.'”

Dogus owns three restaurants in the area. He kept one of them –Troiaon Belvedere Road only metres from Westminster Bridge – open until around 11:30 on Wednesday night.

He said he fed between 300 and 500 emergency personnel.

“We wanted to play our role in terms of supporting the emergency crew,” he said.

David Icke explains why he doesn’t believe 9/11 was an act of terrorism. Post continues below.

“This was happening right at our doorstep. If you walk two seconds on my doorstep I would be on the bridge. I use the bridge to take my kids to school, not on that day, but I live next to the area, I work next to the area.”

The man responsible for the attack was killed by police officers at the scene.

His victims include Keith Palmer, who was the police officer stabbed. Aysha Frade, a British teacher and a mother of two; Kurt Cohran, an American tourist who was visiting London with his wife celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary; and 75-year-old Leslie Rhodes, who died in hospital on Thursday evening.
