Stabbing, Fleeing, Heroism, Incompetence, Drama Captured in One Shot
At London's Notting Hill Carnival on Monday, 20 year-old Rio Andre was stabbed by a teenager after trying to break up a fight. What was that intense moment like? Well, just look at this god damn picture: There's Andre in the middle of the scene with his wound, arms out, looking stricken; there's the stabber, fleeing the scene with knife in hand; there's the heroic bystander trying to trip the perp as he runs by; there are the police, frozen, like "huh?"; there's the crowd in the background, shocked.
We don't support stabbings but we do support the quality action photography of Getty Images photographer Oli Scarf. Good work, sir! And the stabber has been arrested, so all's well, except for that knife wound.
