"Over what he believes was around ninety seconds, he continued to try to fight all three of them at once."
If his time perception is accurate in what would have been such an emotionally charged time, he would have been engaging them for just under 20% of the time that their rampage lasted. That is a huge proportion for one person to engage 3 men.
A true hero indeed, and would have saved many lives and injuries.
If that geezer doesn't get a George Cross they better be prepared for lot of angry protests! An absolute hero who is not yet certain of being able to continue with his career.
An amazing man. What an absolute hero. A medal for sure, but he also needs help with his injuries and ongoing health, career, income and everything else affected.
It's an eye opener for the public. We are there to serve and protect. What this officer done was truly remarkable. He must carry his bollocks around in a wheelbarrow because they're clearly huge.
I could never imagine being in a situation like this and wouldn't want to but this officer is a life saver and needs to be commended. Amazingly courageous and the interview made my eyes damp. Well done Wayne. Hero.
Huge respect and admiration for PC Marques, truly selfless bravery. I hope he can enjoy his life without too many demons from that act of heroism effecting him.
A real hero but sod you getting a pay rise! After seeing this brave man, I wouldn't have the cheek to squeeze the pay of the police and emergency services any more!
Echo everyone's sentiments about him. - a remarkable man. Looks possible that in time he will make a full recovery from his physical injuries but really hope he continues to cope with the emotional and mental aspects of that awful night and receive help if he needs/wants it.
Extremely brave thing to do but it also raises the question. If he'd been armed could he have stopped the carnage?
I believe PC Marques is a British Transport Police Officer, so although I can see the day coming that Police Officers will be armed , doubt it would extend to Transport Police?
Don't know if I could have been that brave, guess you find out in the heat of the moment. As Davo says, what he needs is lifelong financial and mental support for his injuries. A medal is great but hopefully it's not a case of the govnt give him that and forget.

He knew what he was getting himself into but he did it anyway. What a hero.
Hope he can return to work, but if not he should be taken care of properly for life (at the very least).
He deserves undying gratitude.
All proper hero's

He deserves all the praise he gets and more, a true hero.
Many thanks to that man.
