In 2012 Khan, from Stoke in central England, was jailed along with eight others in a terrorist group inspired by Al-Qaeda that had plotted to bomb targets including the London Stock Exchange. Footage filmed by eyewitnesses and shared on social media showed a scrum of people tackling the suspect on the ground before the police arrived.Tour guide Stevie Hurst, who ran from his car to the scene, told BBC radio that"everyone was just on top of him trying to bundle him to the ground".
Johnson's Conservatives and the main opposition Labour party have both pledged to put at least 20,000 more police officers on the streets.
