Leon McLeod was one of the first police officers on the scene of the London Bridge terror attack.
The father-of-one and his colleague PC Wayne Marques, armed only with their batons, gave chase to the knife-wielding terrorists, with little thought for their own safety.
Among the screams and chaos, Leon kept his cool and helped dozens of victims – many of whom had been enjoying a night out at Borough Market – by giving them first aid and carrying them to safety.
Then PC McLeod realised his colleague had been set upon by all three attackers, and he tended to him after he was brutally stabbed in the head, leg and hand.
Just two days later PC McLeod was back at work. He was later awarded the Queen’s Gallantry Medal, and PC Marques the George Medal.
But the following year, his life “unravelled” – leaving him battling suicidal thoughts.
Throughout this episode Leon speaks openly and honestly To Ben and Alvin about his life before and after this life changing moment.
