The “heroic” bystander who wrestled to the ground an attacker who had allegedly stabbed five victims on the streets of central Amsterdam is British, according to unconfirmed local reports.
Video footage has shown the man chasing down and overpowering the suspect, who had fled through the streets of the Dutch capital’s old centre after leaving a knife sticking from one of his victims’ backs.
