15-year-old Muslim boy saves over 100 people during Moscow concert attack

A 15-year-old Muslim boy became a hero by saving the lives of over 100 concertgoers during the terrorist attack at Crocus City Hall located on the outskirts of Russia's Moscow.

Islam Khalilov, who works part-time in the cloakroom at the venue, guided panicked people to safety.

The video of the heroic act also went viral on social media, garnering appreciation from the netizens.

In the video, Khalilov could be seen shouting “That way, that way," leading scores to an emergency exit.

"Everybody go that way. Everybody over there. To the Expo, to the Expo…." he could be heard saying in the video.

"At first we heard some strange sounds on the first floor. We thought maybe some noisy group had come," the brave boy said in an interview.

"I understood that if I didn't react, I would lose my life and the lives of many people. Honestly, it was very scary," he added.

More than 110 people were killed and over 145 were injured on Friday night after armed men attacked a concert of Soviet-era rock group “Picnic”.

The viral video showed people rushed to the exit gate to save their lives as armed men openly fired at the concertgoers with Kalashnikov automatic weapons.

A day earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused Ukraine of involvement in the deadly attack, claiming that the terrorists who opened fire tried to escape towards Kyiv.

It is said to be the deadliest attack in Russia in 20 years.
