A man who survived an attack that targeted two New Zealand mosques on Friday said he witnessed a “hero” tackle the shooter and wrestle the gun from his hands before chasing him out of the building.
Syed Mazharuddin told the New Zealand Herald that he was at Christchurch’s Linwood mosque when the suspect, whose name has not yet been released, entered the place of worship during an afternoon prayer ceremony.
Mazharuddin said the man, an alleged 28-year-old Australian white nationalist, began firing wildly at the crowd when a Mulsim worshiper confronted him.
