His intervention probably prevented worse: Alaeddin Alhalabi (42) really just wanted to supply food and got into the middle of an Amok -Run! Without further delay, he drove the perpetrator with his car. The “Kroon” spoke with the hero.
“I was about to pick up an order in Lederergasse when I saw the full blood and two wounded people lying on the ground,” the 42-year-old Syrian reviews the dramatic seconds. Without thinking – ignorant that he would probably save the life of some villachers – he drove the man down armed with a knife.
“It threw him a few meters away, then he stayed on the floor,” said Alhalabi. “He wanted to go to the city center, there were children on street -I could not leave that,” he says in the “Krone” conversation. The shock is also deep with him: “If I had been faster, the 14-year-old may not be dead …”
“Passers -by – by touching my car – they thought I would be angry”
In the chaos of the situation, passers -by were passed by the delivery car, as the brave family man said, “They thought I would be angry!”
“I have children myself, we all cried because the 14-year-old died!”, The Syrian said in Villach. Alhalabi condemns his countryman: “We are not so! I have been living here well for years, and many others. I hope people don’t compare us with the perpetrator! As a hero he doesn’t see himself: “Everyone would have responded like this!”
