Held from Villach: How a meal deliverer stopped a knife attack!

in Villach, Austria, there was a shocking incident on Saturday when a 23-year-old Syrian, Ahmad G., stood indiscriminately on passers-by and killed a 14-year-old young person and injured five other people. In the cruel deed, the perpetrator called "Allah Akbar" according to the testimony. Alaaeddin Alhalabi, a 42-year-old Syrian meal deliverer and current hero of the city, was able to avoid worse things through his quick action. He watched the attack when he wanted to deliver a delivery by his car and saw several injuries on the ground. Without hesitation, he rammed the attacker head -on with his vehicle to prevent him from further attacks.

like oe24 reported, Alhalabi came into an incorrect location after his brave intervention. The surrounding people initially thought he was the attacker and stormed towards his car, which also escalated the situation. He fled to the next police station in his car to inform the officials about what is happening. Shortly afterwards, Ahmad G. was caught by the police. According to police spokesman Rainer Dionisio, one spoke of a heroic deed that probably prevented worse injuries and other fatalities.

The scenery before the incident presented itself chaotic; Eyewitnesses reported screams and panicked people. 20 minutes quotes a witness who wanted to alert the first aiders, but had to reach the police in chaos. While the emergency services fought for the injured passers -by, Ahmad G. remained motionless after the collision with Alhalabi and was later brought under control by security officers. Another witness told about an attack that was stopped by Alhalabi in seconds faster, which shows how precarious the situation in Villach must have been.
