Businessman recounts events of London Borough Market incident

Paul Dawson, a local businessman, said he arrived at the Feng Sushi restaurant on Stoney Street just after the police.

He said: “There were two uniformed police in there.

“The manager was flustered and said ‘sorry, we’ve had something quite bad happen, we have to close.”

“Plain-clothes police officers, ambulance and fire services then arrived at the scene,” he said.

“A community warden then told me that a white powder had been received,” Mr Dawson added.

“I asked him for where he heard that and he couldn’t say.

“Police on the scene didn’t confirm anything. And Borough Market security said ‘some kind of corrosive material attack or incident.

“That’s it. Life carried on as normal in the market which is on its second busiest day of the week.”
