[Regnum] The man who neutralized one of the perpetrators of the terrorist attack in the Crocus City Hall concert hall was questioned in the 2nd Western District Military Court as a victim. This was reported on August 19 by one of the participants in the trial. “Today we questioned one of the victims, he said that during the terrorist attack he attacked one of the perpetrators, hit him and took away his weapon,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying. The case materials also include testimony from this victim. During the terrorist attack, the man noticed the fourth of the criminals, who was walking along the left corridor between the descent from the mezzanine and the seats, and at that moment he tilted his machine gun to reload the magazine. "He (the victim. - Ed.) decided to neutralize the terrorist. He pushed his wife away and motioned for her to run to the exit. With his left hand, he grabbed the terrorist's machine gun and pointed it at the floor, and with his right hand he began to hit him on the head. Then another man of larger build came to the rescue and also hit the criminal several times on the back of his head. The blows caused the criminal to lose consciousness," the documents say. Then the men who had neutralized the terrorist quickly left the hall and began looking for their relatives. Earlier, on August 19, it became known from the case materials on the terrorist attack in Crocus that two unarmed men tried to prevent the terrorists from shooting people in the concert hall. As a result, they were both shot point-blank by the criminals. The first squad of two police officers appeared at Crocus City Hall at 20:05 Moscow time, six minutes after the terrorist attack began. |
