He took just 18 secs for James Porritt's to be attacked by Ricky Morgan

Eighteen seconds. That is all it took for James Porritt's (right) world to be unalterably different such that he actually battles to grasp. That is the time span in which the 42-year-old business specialist was brutally gone after in the stuffed carriage of a London Underground train by a man using a cleaver who had picked him completely at irregular. 'This isn't a fear assault,' the attacker told panicked spectators. 'I need just him.' What followed next was a surge of unprecedented hostility: as James attempted to escape for his life, the aggressor - 35-year-old Ricky Morgan (left and inset)- chased him down, cutting at his head, hands, elbow and legs. That James made due at everything is minimal shy of a wonder: the couple of moments of safety film from the episode delivered to the public show scenes likened to a blood and gore movie. 'At the point when I saw the recording, all I could believe was the way the damnation I left it,' says James today. 'I know I'm fortunate to be alive.' The effect has in any case been horrendous: close by bone-profound slices to his head and shin, James' right and when predominant hand was so seriously harmed that it is of little use now. 'I can't dress myself, I need to eat from a bowl with my left hand, I've needed to surrender my driving permit and I'm presently enlisted crippled,' he says unobtrusively. 'I couldn't actually hold my better half's hand as it harms excessively. Every one of the fundamental things I used to underestimate I can never again do.'
