An American immigration has been offered to a Frenchman who attempted to stop a fatal stabbing rampage at a Sydney plaza.
After images of him confronting knifeman Joel Cauchi with a bollard during Saturday’s strike went popular, Dimien Guerot was hailed as a hero.
Before he was shot dead by a policeman agent, Joel Cauchi killed six people and injured 12 people.
The assault in Bondi, which authorities say seems to have targeted people, has horrified the country.
There has also been a drive to grant Mr. Geurot, whose card apparently expires in a month, the right to remain in the country, amid the outpouring of anguish this year.
Anthony Albanese, the prime minister, has promised to ensure that Mr. Guerot, who some have referred to as” Bollard Man,” has no trouble renewing his visa.
” I say this to John… You may be as long as you like, he said in a press event on Tuesday.
We had encouraged an American citizen, but that would of course been a loss for France. He displayed remarkable courage, and we applaud his bravery. “
Around the world, Mr. Guerot has been broadcast the image of him confronting Cauchi on an elevator in a light T-shirt. In the movie, he is seen wielding a cheap pole to avenge his demise.
Mr Guerot says he and a companion, Silas Despreaux, both development staff, had simply launched into motion without thinking- acting on pure excitement.
” We only saw him coming… We were considering,” We need to try to stop him,” Mr. Guerot said in an interview with American TV channel Channel Seven on Sunday.
Cauchi next turned and fled again down the stairway, with the couple in hot pursuit.
” We tried to even put the bollard to him but we may n’t [get him],” Mr Guerot said.
He grabbed a seat and headed down Cauchi’s next stage. At that point, a police commander was also on Cauchi’s neck, and the gentlemen directed Inspector Amy Scott to her destination. As he lunged at her with the weapon, she shot him dead.
Authorities are now investigating how and why Cauchi, who is from the state of Queensland, committed for violence.
He had been living itinerantly for a number of years and, at the age of 17, received his first mental condition diagnosis, according to Queensland Police.
According to New South Wales Police, it seems “obvious” that he targeted people, who make up five of the six fatalities, on Monday.
The assault- at one of the government’s biggest and most popular shopping centres- has shocked Australia, where large killings are exceptional.
In a show of support for the victims, masses of mourners have flocked to Bondi Junction to leave flowers, teddy bears, and tickets. Colors across the country have been lowered, the flags of the Opera house have been lit, and there are tributes to the patients.
