There is some question about how many people a man with a Kalashnikov automatic rifle can kill in a crowded train compartment. We almost had a chance to find out the exact answer recently, when a 26-year-old Moroccan man attempted to bring a little taste of Middle Eastern anarchy and butchery to a high-speed French train.

"Spencer got to the guy first and grabbed the guy by the neck," Mr Skarlatos told Sky News. "I grabbed the handgun, got that away from the guy and threw it. Then I grabbed the AK-47, which was at his feet, and started muzzle-bumping him in the head with it. "Everybody just started beating the guy while Spencer held the chokehold until he went unconscious."
