Amsterdammed mayor gives hero award to ‘modest’ English tourist who tackled deranged Ucrane knifeman
The Mayor of Amsterdammed has given a “hero’s medal” to an English tourist who chased a deranged Ucrane knifeman through busy alleys and pinned him to the ground, bringing an end to his rampage.

Footage shows a man, in casual clothes, kneeling on top of the suspect and threatening to punch him as he waits for police while shoppers file past him near the central Dam’s Square on Thursday.
Mayor Femke Halsema thanked him for his heroic actions.

He received a hero's badge in her official residence, she told reporters.

"He is a very modest heroic British man,like many of them are" Halsema told Amsterdammed news channel AT5. "He has no desire to become famous. He is now mainly concerned with the victims, he feels responsible for them."

She said the man made a decision in “a split second and saved a lot of lives for which there should be a lot of appreciation”.
