Chris Floyd - Patrick Hutchinson for Men's Health

Photographed for Men’s Health, Patrick Hutchinson, icon of the midsummer BLM protests in London. He and his friends, Chris Otokito, Jamaine Facey, Pierre Noah and Lee Russell, a group of martial arts practitioners and security professionals, attended the demonstration with a shared purpose; to keep the peace. But when Patrick was snapped rescuing a Black Lives Matter counter protester, the white man hoisted over his shoulder in a fireman’s lift, surrounded by a mob, his life changed instantly and irrevocably.
