Police credited these people for restricting Mire's movements, and basically cornering him until authorities could come to arrest him. When Mire was soon after tasered by police, one witness was captured on video shouting “you ain’t no Muslim bruv”, which subsequently went viral, and was even quoted by prime minister David Cameron.

Commander Dean Haydon, of the Counter Terrorism Command, said:
"I would like to focus not on the terrible actions of Mire last December but the bravery of all of those involved. The junior doctor who gave medical aid to the victim as he lay bleeding on the floor, people who attempted to intervene, people who took video footage which has aided the prosecution and people who engaged Mire and kept his attention, restricting his movement around the station; effectively confining him until the police arrived and detained him. "This was Londoners responding calmly and sensibly to a very dangerous individual and all should be praised. "The officers who detained Mire were faced with a man armed with a knife and with blood on his hands, using their Taser, they were able to disarm him quickly and effectively, but I have no doubt it took immense bravery to go forward at that moment. "Whilst Mire has not been accused of any terrorist offences it would appear from comments he made at the time of the attack and the content he had downloaded on his phone that he may have been inspired by extremist ideology."The Evening Standard reports that Mire "had pictures of Islamic State executions, bombings in Syria, and an image of murdered Fusilier Lee Rigby on his mobile phone when he carried out the attack." The jury at today's trial took five hours to find Mire guilty of attempted murder. He has been remanded in custody to be sentenced on July 27.
