Moment 'road rage' row explodes into violence in broad daylight as woman is put into a headlock during melee
This is the shocking moment a row exploded in broad daylight as a woman is put into a headlock during a melee. Footage posted online shows a driver in a pink T-shirt clashing with three women after stopping his car in the middle of the road. Passing vehicles can be heard honking as traffic builds behind him. The video was shared by one London-based X user on Monday with the caption: 'Road rage in Edgware Road yesterday evening.' The man can be seen squaring up to the group before the confrontation turns physical. At one point, one of the women appears to point a metal object at his face while shouting: 'That's my mum, that's my mum… I'm gonna kill you.' He grabs for the object before putting her in a headlock and shoving her away. Moments later, the driver scrambles back into his car, only to jump out again as the women block him from closing the door. The row spills back onto the street, where the man bolts away, chased by another man believed to be part of the group, who dramatically trips mid-sprint before regaining his footing. The clip, shared by a London-based X user, was captioned: 'Road rage in Edgware Road yesterday evening.'

'Surviving 7/7 terrorist attacks changed my life'
On 7 July 2005, London's public transport system was targeted by four suicide bombers who killed 52 people and injured more than 700 during the morning rush hour. Bill Mann, 60, survived the attack and recounts how it changed his life completely. Mr Mann was travelling in a Tube carriage on his way to work in Paddington when Mohammad Sidique Khan, 30, detonated a bomb 08:50 BST as the train was coming into Edgware Road station. He survived with minor injuries, but he described that following the blast he realised what mattered in his Mann, from Brentwood, Essex, said: "The only things I wanted to live for were the things that money couldn't buy. "I wanted to be here to have dinner with the kids in the evening, read them books, put them to bed, and I could do all those things regardless of what house I'm living in and what car I drive." Two other bombs were detonated on the London Underground at Aldgate station and Russell Square station and a third bomb exploded on a red double-decker bus beside Tavistock Square."My first memory is actually of flying through the air to the opposite doorway. I thought is this it, is this where it all ends? "I almost felt surprised because it had never occurred to me that I might die young."There was a brief pause, a brief moment of silence, and then the screaming started and I'll always remember it because there were two distinct screams. "I could hear the screams of people in the carriage that were just hysterical, but I could also hear the screams of the people that were badly injured and dying and they were very, very different."Mr Mann stayed onboard the carriage to try and help the injured, before being taken above ground to a nearby Marks and Spencer and then to a hotel. Two years after the terrorist attack Mr Mann's wife of 24 years, Johanne, was diagnosed with cancer. "It felt like I was back in the train, but obviously in many ways it was worse because it was affecting the whole family and the children were very young so that was incredibly hard to deal with," he said. Johanne passed away in 2011, leaving Bill to raise his children alone. He later left his career and became a life coach to try and help others."I can't describe how much my life had changed during that period because of those two events. Some days I would wake up in a dreadful state and think well I've just got to get through today and tomorrow would be different. "Sometimes it would be take each hour as it comes, eventually it does become a bit easier." 'We searched for Carrie' On the other side of London, the bombings robbed another family of a daughter and Taylor, 24, from Billericay, Essex, had just begun a new job at the Royal Society of Arts and had commuted into Liverpool Street station with her mum parted ways and Carrie took a Circle Line train towards Aldgate where bomber Shehzad Tanweer, 22, detonated a bomb which killed her and six others. Her father, John Taylor, was in Essex at the time and he spent days searching for his daughter in hospitals in London following the attack. "We went up to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel to see if Carrie was there," he said. "We had a picture of Carrie with us and we showed it to the receptionist, she said there are so many people here, but told us there was a lady upstairs that they couldn't identify."She took the photograph and went up to see this other lady, unfortunately she came back down and said, 'I'm very sorry sir, it's not Carrie'," he added. John, June, and Carrie's brother Simon would have to wait ten days for formal identification to confirm Carrie had been killed in the 76, added: "The minute someone tells you you've lost your daughter, you don't know what to do, you just descend into a black hole."You never get over it, but you get used to it. I still go to the station and can be sitting waiting to pick my son up and thinking, Carrie should be on that train." 'I had to help' Off-duty police officer Elizabeth Kenworthy, from Nazeing, Essex, was travelling on the same train as Carrie that day. She moved towards the bombed carriage after the explosion to tend to the injured and was later awarded an MBE for said: "We were underground and I couldn't communicate and couldn't protect the scene so I thought I could give basic first aid to keep these people going."Ms Kenworthy keeps in touch with two of the injured she helped, including Martine Wright, who went on to compete for Team GB in the sitting volleyball competition at the Paralympic Games in 2012. She added: "Being a police officer it was my duty to do what I could to help. "On the anniversaries, I always think of the families who lost loved ones and people who were so badly injured and what they had to live with. "They are the people we need to care about."

London 7/7 bombings: Returning to the capital 20 years on
On 7 July 2005, four terrorists bombed London's transport network, killing 52 people and injuring hundreds more. Returning to Edgware Road Station 20 years later, Ben Thwaites from Berkshire remembers the attack in his own day started as all my days did then.I got a train into London for work. I was on the tube coming into Edgware Road from was another train leaving Edgware Road, coming towards us. That's the train the bomb was there was a smash as if we'd just clipped them, as if we'd hit each trains stopped and the tunnel went into darkness. People were screaming. You could see they were in terrible side and the bottom of their carriage had been torn first thing I was really aware of seeing was people trying to get into our carriage. They were fighting for their man in particular had a jacket on but the sleeve was ripped, he was injured and there was blood on him. He was trying to pull the carriage doors open to get to us. For a split second I didn't want him to get in. It's made me feel terrible for then, realising he needed help, we tried to prise the doors they opened, there was a sudden smell of the dust in the air from the roof - but it smelt almost like was a rushing sound, then silence. The people that were injured were hurt so badly they weren't even screaming. And the people that were more seriously injured were already dead. I suspect that we were all trapped down there for about 10 to 15 minutes, but it's very difficult to tell. Time does strange things when you're that immediately people pulled together and started helping, doing what they could.I was asked to get ties and belts and things to use as I was sent to travel through the carriages to get help from the station. 'Go home' As I came out of the station, I didn't know what to expect. Ambulances were there but they'd been to other bombings already, and so they were turning up without any equipment in them.I tried to get to the emergency services to come back into the tunnel with me. But because they hadn't had clearance, they couldn't. They wouldn't come I gave my name and address to a policeman, and asked him: "What I should do?"He just told me to go home.I ended up walking to Paddington Station and got the last train out of London. I don't ever say exactly what I saw because I don't think it's fair putting those images into other people's what it resulted in was days and days of trying to understand what had happened. And the aftermath, I would have flashbacks all the time. I still have the occasional... maybe nightmare is the best word for the bombing, I avoided London for a year. And when I eventually started to come back, the Tube was the hardest now and again, someone will drop an item that will clang - and suddenly you're back 20 years ago, on the edge of reliving those it's something that I make myself do because it's normal life. And I refuse to not live my life. I refuse to give in. For me to be here now, it feels like yesterday, like all those events happened moments looks almost exactly the same as it was that day. The shops that came to help, the hotel that gave up their foyer for people to be taken into and looked after. It's almost as if time hasn't moved - and I'm quite proud of that because it shows that London didn't change. I think the purpose of the bombings was to tear London it did exactly the opposite.
