Mr Koczocik armed himself with a long stick and “charges towards the bad guy” but hits “something protective”.

"But he’s buying time and he allows others to escape to move to adjacent rooms and at that point he has about a minute one on one straight combat,” Mr Williamson said.

“This guy Khan then works his way up Lukasz pole slashing with his knife, he takes five wounds to his left side.”

Mr Bain said that it “felt like a warzone... it felt like total chaos."

Mr Koczocik, with the blood pressure loss, started to lose strength but two men from the conference rushed to intervene.

One was armed with a fire extinguisher and the other with a narwhal tusk that he had ripped from the wall.

“They come and join the fight and it is pretty gruesome and I think the terrorist decided he was outnumbered, he runs though and goes down the main staircase and the next bit of hell is he is at reception and he can't get out the front door," Mr Williamson said.

Gareth, the doorman "is pushing the door shut as good as he can" whilst another worker named only as Dawn calls the police.

People were trying to keep the door closed and Khan was swinging knives at them.

Saskia Jones, a 23-year-old also fatally wounded inside the building and at least two others were seriously injured.

Finding himself trapped Khan turned to the girls in the cloakroom, Alla and Sandra, and gives them a “hell of a time” before a showdown in the entrance hall with Mr Koczocik “leading the charge”.

“But when the knife goes to his chest and kill or open the door is the choice he pauses for a moment, he’s reluctant to spill all this out onto the pavement when members of public are going to be facing the same problems but he makes exactly the right choice, the door’s opened, out the terrorist falls and the first one after him is Lukasz shouting at everyone to get out of the way, to get back.

"But members of the public do what they needed to do, they join in and the man with the fire extinguisher, the man with the narwhal tusk, they are all in there.”

They were prodding Khan with the Narwhal tusk before he was tackled to the floor.

Some of the have-a-go-heroes were former convicts who were attending the rehab event.

Moments later, at 2.02pm police marksmen arrive and after pulling the final member of the public away from Khan he is shot dead.
