In the wake of a stabbing incident on Streatham High Road, Lambeth, on February 2, a bizarre video has gone viral on the internet. The video was shot inside a small restaurant and starts off by showcasing a police officer entering the restaurant and asking everyone to leave the premises.

The video shows the policeman entering the establishment and saying, "Sorry guys, you're going to have to close, we've got to evacuate I'm afraid. Everyone's going to have to go"

"There's been a terrorist incident down there, we're closing everything down. If you want to stay safe you'll listen to me."

The policeman is interrupted by a woman who apparently tells him, "Just give us half an hour because people have to eat".

The officer immediately replies by stating, "Madam, a terrorist has been shot dead just down there, they've got a possible IED vest, which is a bomb. If you want to try and stay open for half an hour and you want to put these lives in danger, then be my guest".
