“Many at such moments can fall into a state of stupor. But this one did not cower and shot down the machine gun,” Dandykin emphasized and suggested that the Russian most likely served in the army.
At the time of the terrorist attack, the hero (as many now call him) was in the dress circle with his wife.
According to the man, the terrorist began reloading his weapon the moment he reached them.
“I had a second to think, I pushed my wife, I ran around him to the left, I grabbed the machine gun with my left hand and lowered it, and with my right I started hitting him in the head.” The Russian, who did not want to give his name, described his actions.
And other spectators helped to finally “knock out” the attacker.
