Insp Moloy Campbell, a police officer, recounted to the jury how Marcus Arduini Monzo, the defendant in the Daniel Anjorin murder trial, attacked him with a 'large sword'.
During the trial at the Old Bailey, Insp Campbell described seeing blood on his hand after the incident took place in Hainault, north-east London, in April of the previous year.
Monzo, aged 37, has pleaded not guilty to the murder of 14-year-old Daniel, who was on his way to school, as well as the attempted murder of four others in a series of attacks that lasted for 20 minutes.
Reflecting on the incident, Insp Campbell expressed his disappointment at being injured, which hindered his ability to pursue Monzo further. He recalled feeling frightened but emphasized that his priority was to continue with his duties.
