Knives are very dangerous - one victim (survived) was a police officer, rugby player, he aggressed them and was stabbed three times. Another was a martial artist / boxer (level unknown) who similarly survived after takin them on and suffering injury.
It appears organised, structured resistance deterred them - a restaurant had paid attention to recent police advice about protecting customers and staff, plus had three Albanian ex-military members of staff, their actions dissuaded the attackers from bothering.
Other people threw crates, bottles etc to little apparent effect.
That said, what do I think I’d do? Depends who I’m with. I have kids too. All sorts of factors. Cornered? Take out there eyes.
