Three people injured in the London Bridge attack have been sent home after receiving medical treatment as more details emerged on the stabbings.

Dr Vin Diwakar, medical director for the National Health Service in London, said Friday that the victims of the attack were recovering and that the last patient had been discharged.

"Our thoughts remain with the families and friends of those who sadly lost their lives and all those who have been impacted,'' he said.

Usman Khan stabbed two people to death and injured three others on November 29 before being shot and killed by police on the bridge.

Khan had been attending a conference on prisoner rehabilitation when he attacked Cambridge University graduates Saskia Jones, 23 and Jack Merritt, 25.

As the injured recovered, some of those who subdued him began to speak out.

John Crilly, a former prisoner who used a fire extinguisher to corner Khan together with other bystanders, lamented Merritt's death in a Facebook post, describing him as the the best guy I ever met."
