A tourist is being described as a “hero” in the Netherlands after he managed to symbolize the man who attacked five people with a knife in Amsterdam's Dam Square.
According to local newspaper De Telegraaf, the Dutch police have confirmed that the “hero” is a foreign national, but have not indicated his nationality.
A video circulating on social media, which you can see in the gallery above, shows the attacker lying on the ground and the tourist with his knees on his back.
Several users, quoted by De Telegraaf, expressed “respect” for the “hero”. “We need more heroes like this”, ‘a real hero, despite the chaos, this man managed to keep the attacker under control until the police arrived’ and ‘this man deserves a medal!’ are some of the phrases that read out.
It should be noted that five people were injured in a knife attack in the center of Amsterdam on Thursday afternoon. The suspect has been arrested by the authorities and, so far, the motive for the attack has not been revealed.
