"They must be here after me. I have to fix this," he said.
As the terrorists were trying to break in, Ho noticed the knives they had. "I had to face them, I had to delay them, no matter what... my skills and training meant that I had the best chance of delaying the attackers until the police arrived." Ho thought, "Keep them focused on you. Then they can't hurt the others. I knew the police were coming. Buy them time, shield everyone. That's your only job now. If they get past you, maybe no one goes home."
"With my hands up, trying to look non-threatening, I stared back at them and said one word: NO. The one in the blue Arsenal shirt walked towards me, barking 'get on the floor!'. Again, I said no."
Ho recalled how the terrorist in the Arsenal shirt snapped and came at him, followed by his clean shaven accomplice. The terrorist struck at his throat, "but I must have blocked enough of the knife to make sure it didn't kill me outright" he recalled. The terrorist attempted to stab him in the stomach but his training kicked in and he instinctively leapt back.
"I fell down, but still on my feet, clutching my throat. Our assailants had run off." Ho then grabbed a friend who had also been stabbed in the frenzied attack, and they went to a staff room.
Moments later Ho was in the street outside, recalling: "the atmosphere was chilling. It was like a war zone."
At the Royal London Hospital doctors grabbed Ho and hauled him into surgery. During his recovery in the hospital, Prince Charles and his wife the Duchess of Cornwall turned up at the bedside, thanking him for his heroic actions.
