A HEROIC Brit was knifed to death in a holiday hotspot yesterday after confronting two men harassing a girl clubber.
George Low, 22, was stabbed in the neck outside a bar in Cyprus party resort Ayia Napa.
The estate agent dragged himself inside but collapsed in a pool of blood and died in hospital. Student pal Ben Barker, 22, was stabbed four times in the back but is expected to make a full recovery.
Cops are hunting two men after the early-hours attack outside The Bell nightspot.
George’s friends say the culprits were local, although officers believe they may be from oversees.
One pal, who asked not to be named, told The Sun: “George got into an argument with some locals.
“These Cypriot guys were disrespecting and harassing an English girl, apparently.
“George and his mates stepped in and said, ‘That’s enough.’ There were two guys who took off and they returned 20 minutes later with a knife. It all happened so suddenly.”
George, of Dartford, Kent, spent the past two summer seasons working as a club rep in the resort.
He was on holiday for a week with Ben, who is at Aston University in Birmingham, and they had been due to fly home yesterday.
Last night George’s tearful mum Helen, 47, a community carer, said: “I keep thinking I’m going to wake up out of this nightmare and I’d have my boy back.
“He was a lovely young man. George was the kind of person that would help out a girl if she was in trouble.”
