A brave hero tackled a knife-wielding teenager just minutes after he robbed a pizza delivery man and pinned him to the ground for almost 20 minutes before police arrived. Ex-Army reservist Ivan Olbrechts grappled with alcohol-fuelled George Lilford after he had pulled a knife on a terrified delivery driver. Lilford, 19, and pal Bailey Carew-Wootton, 18, lured pizza man Alex Mamaliga to the isolated Bekesbourne railway station in Kent in the early hours of April 9 to ambush him. CCTV showed Lilford pull the knife on terrified Alex, who fled as the thug slashed the tyres on his car.
