London:Â A 44-year-old Briton, believed to be of Indian origin, is being hailed as a hero after he risked his life to comfort a young victim of the terror attack in Spain in which a van ploughed into pedestrians, media reports said.
Athwal ran up to the boy as the terrorist’s van swerved mindlessly past, despite the bodies being thrown high in the air and cries from police to stay back for his own safety.
