Henry De Los Rios Polania, 35, is in hospital after being stabbed in his home in east London on Tuesday morning. Marcus Arduini Monzo, 36, appeared in court yesterday accused of being behind the 22-minute rampage that left schoolboy Daniel Anjorin dead and four others seriously wounded, including Mr De Los Rios Polania.
Jessica De Los Rios, 31, said her brother had been left “traumatised” by the event. “He’s very devastated to believe something like this could happen. To us, he’s our hero. He protected them — my niece and my sister-in-law.
“They were just literally sleeping, opened their eyes to see a man with a big machete sword. He felt helpless in the moment but to us he is our hero. It could have been extremely worse.”
