With the
help of their friend Anthony Sadler, from Pittsburg, California, and
fellow passenger British IT consultant Chris Norman, they managed to
wrestle the attacker to the ground, stopping what could have been a
deadly terrorist attack.
The
terrorist, named in reports as Ayoub el-Qahzzani, had at least nine full
magazines of ammunition holding almost 300 rounds. He was arrested by
police at a train station in Arras and taken to hospital where he is now
in custody.
He came out of the toilet brandishing the gun and opened fire,
wounding two people on board. Fortunately, the hero passengers were
nearby and overpowered him.

‘As he was
cocking it to shoot it, Alek just yells, ‘Spencer, go!’ And Spencer runs
down the aisle,’ Sadler said. ‘Spencer makes first contact, he tackles
the guy, Alek wrestles gun away from him, and the gunman pulls out a box
cutter and slices Spencer a few times. And the three of us beat him
until he was unconscious.’
‘The gunman never said a word,’ he added.
Skarlatos described Stone’s heroic actions to ITV News in the aftermath of the attack.
‘Spencer ran
a good ten metres to get to the guy and we didn’t that his gun not
working or anything like that,’ he said. ‘Spencer just ran anyway and if
anybody would have gotten shot it would have been Spencer for sure and
we’re very lucky that nobody got killed, especially Spencer.’
He added that he was in ‘good spirits’ in hospital, but was still shocked by what unfolded. |
