London terror attack: Bystander shot as police open fire on terrorist, report

A man has reportedly been shot in the head after he was caught in the crossfire between police and suspected terrorists amid the horrific attacks in London.

The man was shot after suspects smashed their way into a Borough Market pub and attacked customers with knives, The Sun reports.

Police then reportedly opened fire.

A witness, who claimed to be inside the pub at the time, told The Sun the men were smashing windows.

“I was in the Wheatsheaf pub,” the witness said.

“The doors were locked by the bar staff.

“Three men with big hunting knives were outside.

'They were trying to get in the pub but the doors were locked. They were smashing the windows... I saw at least one man stabbed in the chest about five times.”

The witness said police stormed the packed pub and opened fire, reportedly killing at least one bystander.

“They fired at least 20 times. One of the guys in the pub took a bullet in the head. I think he's dead,” they said.

Police have reportedly shot dead three men involved in the attack.
