Paris (AFP) - A gunman tackled by young Americans on a train between Amsterdam and Paris pleaded with them to hand back his Kalashnikov after they overpowered him, one of the group said.
"Everything happened very fast," Anthony Sadler, a student travelling with friends Alek Skarlatos and Spencer Stone, both members of the US military, told France's BFMTV.
"I didn't realise what was happening until I saw a guard run past. I looked back and saw a guy enter with a Kalashnikov. My friends and I got down and then I said 'Let's get him'," said Skarlatos, a 22-year-old member of the National Guard in Oregon, who has recently returned from service in Afghanistan.
"We didn't know if the gun wasn't working or anything like that. Spencer just ran anyway and if anyone had gotten shot, it would have been Spencer and we're just very lucky that nobody got killed," he added in quotes shown on the BBC.

I would have given it back to him as often as my arms held out, butt first in the head.
Doesn’t matter which branch they were in; they ARE AMERICAN FIGHTING MEN.
I own one of those, it’s a great big spike.
And sharp as a razor.
The third was a British citizen, not US. He held one arm then used his tie to bind the man’s hands.
Give me back my gun! Give me back my gun!’ But we just carried on beating him up and immobilised him and that was it.”
I bet they did not even read him his rights. Those bastards (no need for sarc tag right?)
He must have said that before they beat him in the head until he passed out. I am really proud of those Americans. Home of the free and the brave...still; even after a Muslim President’s abuse.
Most of the Euroweenies on that train would have sat still, screamed and died. They have grown accustomed to the Muslim “victims” of their “racist” societies murdering and terrorizing and bossing them around. They hate us for our aggression. I must admit that one European, a Brit, did jump in and helped tie the koranimal up after the Americans disarmed him and beat him in head, unconscious. God bless him!
Skarlatos, Stone, and Sadler were the Americans. The Brit was Chris Norman.
