I’ve been speaking to Patrick Hutchinson, the man carrying an injured stranger during clashes yesterday between far right & anti racist activists.
“His life was under threat” Patrick said. “so I put him on my shoulders and marched towards the police” @channel4news #c4news @ 530

Patrick said:
“i know nothing about the man i saved. I think he was partially drunk, i think he was partially unconscious.
“it was a scary moment - but you don’t think about that at the time - you just do what you've got to do"

Patrick Hutchinson:
“I’ve been thinking to myself - if the three police officers who were standing around when George Floyd was murdered had thought about intervening and stopping their colleague - George Floyd would still be alive today”

Patrick Hutchinson:
“i just want equality - for all of us. At the moment - the scales are unfairly balanced and i just want things to be fair - for my children and my grandchildren”

Patrick Hutchinson:
“[if we hadn’t been there] I dread to think what would have happened - i had no plans to go up there - i was at home looking after my grandchilden - and my friend said we’ve gotta go and protect the women and the children".... @channel4news #c4news @ 530

"...and stop these young guys from getting in any trouble [and you ended up saving someone from “the other side”?] ...well these things are not planned, but thats how it worked out"

Lots has been said about Patrick Hutchinson - the man who dragged an injured stranger to safety - but please also share this interview I did yesterday at Churchill’s statue before things turned ugly. Two men with v different views - but still able to be civil to each other.
