He went on to say that the boy’s father “collapsed in shock” and that medics were attempting to rouse him up while he was on the floor.
The man stated that his staff were “traumatised” and had “tears in their eyes” after learning the tiny child was the man’s sole kid.
“Our waitress came off the bus and saw it happen and then saw the little boy,” he told the Evening Standard. I couldn’t get myself to go out, but my squad did. “All I saw was the father on the floor.”He’d collapsed from astonishment. That’s what I observed, the medics trying to rouse him.”
