“The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia ordered that the man who selflessly neutralized one of the terrorists in the Crocus City Hall concert hall be nominated for a departmental award,” the message says.

According to the department, the man, in an attempt to protect his wife from the attacker, attacked him and neutralized the terrorist. By his actions, he saved the lives of hundreds of people around him.

Earlier, a viewer of Crocus City Hall himself told how he neutralized the criminal.
