Girlfriend woke to find gun cops storming her home

EXCLUSIVE BY AMY COLES A WOMAN has told how she woke up to find armed police in her home after her boyfriend was arrested over an attack declared a far-right terrorist incident.

Denise Knox said she was napping in front of the TV on Saturday night when officers broke down the door of the upstairs maisonette she shares with Vincent Fuller, 50.

Delivery driver Fuller had earlier been taken into custody on suspicion of attempted murder and racially aggravated public order offences.

Denise, his girlfriend for more than two years, said: “I woke to hear police shouting at me to go downstairs. Armed officers were already inside. They told me Vincent had been arrested. It was terrifying, really, really scary.”

Earlier a man had run down a street in Stanwell, Surrey, with a baseball bat and knife.

Locals heard shouts of “kill Muslims” and “white supremacy” before a teen was slashed with a knife near a Tesco shortly after 11pm.

The victim, 19, from southern Europe, was released from hospital yesterday after having an operation on his badly injured hands.

Denise said: “Vincent is not a terrorist. I have known him 40 years. He is caring and kind. “I will stand by him and I will still love him.” A man was last night in custody. ARRESTED Vincent Fuller TERRIFIED Denise Knox
