Well done that young man and he doesn't even want to be named. A credit to the country don't you think?

"The Mayor of Amsterdam has given a “hero’s medal” to an English tourist who chased a knifeman through busy alleys and pinned him to the ground, bringing an end to his rampage."

It looked as if he had cable ties.  Must have been a boy scout.

Brave man.

Not all heroes wear capes. Good man.

looks like he knows what he's doing. probably an off duty plod or ex forces.

[Lie-in King]

Well done to him indeed.

What else did he have in his utility belt I wonder?

[albaqwerty]

Brave man.

If he did have cable ties, I'm wondering what their main purpose was, surely not in apprehending a suspected criminal?

Alba:-   I carry a foil hypothermia blanket in my ruck sack.  I haven't been further than Tesco for months.

he would probably get arrested here, and the knifer given compensation..

We've had a few 'have a go heroes' that have been awarded for detaining criminals.  Some have been awarded cash by the trial judge, others have received commendations.  Rightly so, too
