A soldier's wife intervened to save her husband from a knife attack reminiscent of the murder of Lee Rigby, according to reports. The officer, who has not been named, was targeted by two men wielding knives in an attack that police have described as 'terrorism-related'. The wife managed to disarm one of the assailants, allowing her husband to escape.
The incident occurred in the UK, though the exact location has not been disclosed. The officer, a serving member of the British Army, was approached by the two men who attempted to stab him. The wife's quick thinking and bravery prevented a potential tragedy, and the officer sustained only minor injuries.
Lee Rigby, a 25-year-old soldier, was murdered in Woolwich, London, in May 2013 by two Islamic extremists. His death sparked widespread outrage and led to increased security measures for military personnel. The current attack has raised concerns about the safety of off-duty soldiers.
Police have arrested two men in connection with the attack, and investigations are ongoing. The army officer and his wife are receiving support from military authorities. The incident has prompted renewed calls for enhanced protection for service members.
