Two friends of the Harry Potter actor managed to pin the armed man down, wrestling with him for several minutes before police arrived. "Rob was just trying to help out. He was like that. I grabbed the knife, I didn't know at the time that he had another knife. It was just chaos," one of the friends was quoted by the British press. "Rob was kind and thoughtful and would always help out others. The life and soul of the party, he was very outgoing, loved sports, and would always strike up a conversation with people. He was respectful to others and adored by all his family and friends," Rob Knox' parents said in a statement.
