Two Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) officers, PC Alannah Mulhall and PC Joe Gerrard, have been nominated for the National Police Bravery Awards 2024 for their exemplary courage in the face of grave danger during a harrowing incident in Leicester Square.
In the early hours of September 16, 2022, PCs Mulhall and Gerrard responded to a call regarding a male arrested for spiking, with a victim in need of assistance. While attending to the situation, they heard a commotion on the street and bravely approached, only to be confronted by a knife-wielding assailant.
