A Christian evangelist, Hatoun Tash, was on Sunday, July 25, stabbed at least three times by a suspected jihadist at the Speakers Corner in London.

Hatoun Tash, a former Muslim, who has now become a fierce Christian evangelist, now spends her time debating Muslims at the Speakers Corner and offering them the Christian perspective. .
She has been attacked before during such debates. Her latest ordeal appears targeted at taking her life because the attacker stabbed her at least thrice and then took off.
A video footage of the incident revealed that the attacker attempted to slit her throat but missed it for her face and neck.
Hatoun Tash instantly collapsed before she was revived. When an ambulance arrived to take her to hospital, with blood dripping on her face and neck, she made another case for Christianity .
According to The Daily Mail of UK, Detective Superintendent Alex Bingley (Central West Command Unit), said: “This was clearly a very distressing incident for the woman involved and officers have spent time with her, whilst she was being treated for her injury, to get an account of what happened”
The detective asked for members of the public who had video recordings of the attack to share them with the police. The Superintendent added that no arrests had been made yet.
Hatun Tash leads DCCI ministries, which “seeks to preach Christianity to Muslims using apologetics and polemics.
