Candice Miller (24), an Island surf instructor now living in London, was out with her partner and friends at a pub yards from London Bridge when the attack happened.
She was in the Old Thameside Inn when a woman came running in screaming.
The former Beaulieu student from St Brelade, who is studying musical theatre in London, said: ‘She had come from another pub to seek refuge. She had been stabbed in the neck and chest.’
Miss Miller described how people went to the victim’s assistance and tried to stem the flow of blood.
She said that her first instinct was to flee the scene, but she was convinced not to and sought safety in the basement of the pub, which had been sealed off by police.
At one point the group in the basement were told that they could go upstairs, but that suddenly changed.
‘They turned the lights down and told everyone to turn their phones off.
‘I think they were trying to gauge signals from the terrorists,’ said Miss Miller.
Meanwhile, it has emerged that a 27-year-old man from St Malo was one of the victims of the terror attack.
The Breton man was working in the Boro Bistro when he was stabbed in the neck by one of the assailants in Saturday’s attack, which claimed the lives of seven people and left 48 injured, 21 of whom are in critical condition.
