Paris

A Man, identified as Sebastian, rescued a pregnant woman who was hanging a from a window ledge at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris during the attack.

The lady was captured on a mobile phone shouting: “Help, help, I’m pregnant, catch me if I fall.”  According to the reports, Sebastian saw her when he came out running from the gunfire inside.  He said: “She was begging people down below if they would catch her if she jumped.  But it was chaos down there. We were 15 metres above the ground.”

Adding to it, he said: “I held on for five minutes and then the pregnant woman, who was exhausted, begged me to help her get back inside.  That’s what I did.  I don’t know where she went afterwards but I went back to my old hiding place, which wasn’t great.”

Later on, he was ordered by a terrorist to lie on the ground.  “Five minutes later I felt the barrel of a Kalashnikov against my leg and a terrorist yelling: ‘Get down from there … Lie on the ground’.”  He also provided details about the incidents that happened in the theatre.

At one point, the gunmen started with negotiations and also told their victims that they had come to make them suffer in the way that people were suffering in Syria.

The pregnant woman was not identified and is believed to survive.
