The hero who confronted the killer in Sydney / Appeal to the Australian
Damien Guerot

A French national, Damien Guerot, has been identified as the viral "Bollard Man" hero who tried to stop the killer during his stabbing rampage at a Sydney shopping center on Saturday. 

Armed with a long knife, Cauchi killed six people and injured 12 others before being shot dead by a police officer. His senseless act of violence has horrified the country.

The scene of Guero in a white T-shirt confronting Cauchi on an escalator has gone viral online. Local media reported that he had tried to stop Cauchi from advancing on a nearby children's play area.

"We just saw it coming, we were thinking, we have to try to stop it," Mr Guerot said in an interview with Australian television network Channel Seven on Sunday.

At the same time, comments have been circulating on social media stirring up support for "Bollard Man" - people are calling him a legend, a hero, saying he deserves a medal, before other forms of recognition.

Guerot is on a work visa in Australia that will expire in a few months, the Seven Network reported. There are already calls for him to be granted Australian citizenship. /CNA
