The hero rugby player was one of the first to come to the aid of victims at the scene of the shocking machete attack.

A British Transport Police (BTP) spokeswoman said the unarmed officer was targeted by one of the three attackers who were later shot dead by police.

In a statement, BTP said: “He received injuries to his head, face and leg, which, at this time, are believed to be serious but not life threatening.”

“The officer is currently being treated in a central London hospital and his family are with him while he receives treatment.”

All three terrorists were shot dead within eight minutes of the attack beginning.
