Marc Conway risked his life to stop the London Bridge terror attack. Why did he fear being sent to prison for it?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Now, here he was, a free man, studying with students from the University of Cambridge, working for the Prison Reform Trust and delivering speeches to the great and the good.

Conway, who had taken part in the project, had been asked to give a speech at Fishmongers’ Hall, a Grade II* listed building in the City of London.

The next thing Conway knew, the door opened and the man with the knives was being chased by a group of delegates, including Steven Gallant and John Crilly, who were out on licence and serving sentences for murder and manslaughter respectively.

Martin Myers, whose story we told this month, has spent 18 years in jail for trying to steal a cigarette; he was recalled for taking Valium that had not been prescribed.

He grew up in Plumstead, south London, the oldest son of a single-parent family: his mother is white and English; his father, whom he never knew, is Iranian.

“At the time [of the confrontation with Khan], people were going: ‘Don’t hurt him.’ So that was coming back to me and I was thinking: ‘Have I gone over the top there?’” All it would have taken was a word of concern from his probation officer to be recalled.
