Three people were stabbed in an alleged knife rampage outside Aldi before a martial artist who starred on The Apprentice stepped in to help.

Sohail Chowdhary, who starred on the hit BBC one show in 2022, claims he raced to intervene when the incident took place outside his gym on Sunday, August 3.

The businessman, along with a colleague and two students, rushed from Limitless Martial Arts school in Southampton after hearing a commotion outside at around 12.45pm.

The former reality star claims he helped distract the suspected knifeman by leading him in circles while passers-by fled to safety.

Meanwhile one of the students, Mohamed Kamal, also stepped in by ushering members of the public into the nearby Aldi store while waiting for police to arrive.
