A mysterious figure who used a rare narwhal tusk to help subdue a knife-wielding extremist on London Bridge last month has been identified as a civil servant in Britain's Justice Ministry.

Darryn Frost ended his silence Saturday, telling Britain's Press Association that he and others reacted instinctively when Usman Khan started stabbing people at a prison rehabilitation program at a hall next to the bridge on Nov. 29.

"When we heard the noise from the floor below, a few of us rushed to the scene," the 38-year-old said. "I took a narwhal tusk from the wall and used it to defend myself and others from the attacker. Another man was holding the attacker at bay with a wooden chair.""He turned and spoke to me, then indicated he had an explosive device around his waist," Frost said.

The extremist, who had served prison time for earlier terrorism offences, was shot dead by police moments later after he threatened again to detonate his vest.

Would have been nice to see him ram that narwhal tusk up that effer's arse, sideways!

Surprised AP or can’t find the mosque where the perp worshipped, or talk to Anjem Choudary about whether this bridge stabber is his protégé. But I get it. The fake news has to work really, really hard to keep us uninformed.

Congrats, use whatever is at your disposal to combat terrorists
