New video footage from the scene shows the man climbing the stairs to the bridge where the two gunmen lay injured after being shot by police marksmen.

The member of the public is seen kicking a weapon away from the terrorists – but police continue firing at the bridge, causing the man to duck for cover.

As police close in on the injured gunmen, the refugee is then challenged by members of the public, who mistake him for a terrorist.

Ahmed (hero #1) put the gun down almost immediately after wresting it from shooter #1, then got shot by shooter #2. Still was probably best he didn't hold onto it as police were moving in, as hero #2 quickly found out. But let's not miss the fact the public fought back en mass as they went after him thinking he was a shooter. That's some good stuff.

Not to be confused with heroes -1 and 0 who were killed wrestling the gun from shooter 1 before anyone had been shot

Obviously they failed, which is why they are dead and not heroes.
