Remember everyone:
Fire extinguishers are your friend.
Even a jet of high pressure water in the face is going to significantly hamper the ability of an attacker to wound, buying more time for others to assist and incapacitate them.
Foam is even better.
Freezing CO² is best of all. That would blind and choke them.
And the extinguisher can also be used to parry blows from a knife, or as a club to the head.
The element of surprise is key to knife attacks. Many of the perpetrators are obsessive personality types who have fantasized about what will happen. Taking the element of surprise from them and interrupting their plans will leave them very confused.
In a confined space like a railway carriage fighting back swiftly and decisively is the best approach to minimise the total number of casualties, rather than staying stuck behind tables as sitting ducks, or bunching at one end of the carriage, where crush injuries are highly likely.
But, obviously, if you or I lead the charge, we are putting ourselves in harm's way.
If a fire extinguisher isn't available, and a narwhal tusk is, grab that! |
