Only two weeks after the bombing at Manchester Arena, another terror attack had the United Kingdom mourning. Three assailants stabbed passers-by at random after smashing into pedestrians in a van, killing seven people in a “terror attack” in a popular nightlife hub in London before being shot dead by armed police.

A Twitter user took a video of the news clip showing the man — pint in hand — and his companion walking as other people ran past them.
