Hero cabbie. (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/tm_headline=hero-cabbie%2D-i-kicked-burning-terrorist-so-hard-in-balls-that-i-tore-a-tendon%26method=full%26objectid=19401382%26siteid=66633-name_page.html)
and the police took his shoes as evidence :lol
A HERO cabbie who took on the Glasgow Airport terror suspects told yesterday how he booted one of them in the privates.
Alex McIlveen, 45, kicked the man, whose body was in flames, so hard that he tore a tendon in his foot.
But he said last night: “He didn’t even flinch. I couldn’t believe he didn’t go down.
“A doctor told me later I’d damaged a tendon in my foot.”
The burned suspect was named last night as Khalid Ahmed, a Lebanese doctor.
He is critically ill with burns at the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley, where he is believed to have worked.
After the drama, police confiscated Alex’s Nike’s for forensic tests.
And when he went back to the airport to pick up his cab, he was stunned to find that he’d been given a parking ticket.
Alex said: “The police took all the clothes I ‘d been wearing so I lost my Nike trainers. They’re a good pair too.
“I didn’t get out of the police station until late on Saturday night and I found the parking ticket on my cab next day. I couldn’t believe it.”
Alex, of Glasgow, was one of several hero Scots who took on the men who targeted the airport on Saturday afternoon.
He punched and kicked the passenger from the Jeep, believed to be Iraqi doctor Bilal Abdulla.
Then he went after the driver of the vehicle, even though the heavily-built man was in flames after apparently turning himself into a human torch.
Alex was dropping off a fare at the airport when the attack began.
He said: “I noticed a 4×4 sitting in the middle of the road. Then, as my passenger was paying and getting out, the Jeep rammed into the airport entrance right next to us.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.
“The guy in the passenger seat was wearing a white T-shirt. He got out carrying what looked like a petrol bomb and seconds later the Jeep was in flames.
“Then he kicked and punched a man to the ground before punching a policeman square in the face. That’s when I saw red. That sort of thing just isn’t on.
“I told my passenger to run for her life, then I went for the man in the T-shirt and managed to skelp him in the face. I followed it up by booting him twice.
“By that time some other people had joined in and it seemed like the T-shirt guy was trying to get back into the Jeep.
“Then the driver got out of the car. He was already in flames. It was obvious he was the real psycho of the pair.
“Someone was hosing him down but the flames seemed to jump up again just as it looked like they had gone out.
“It was obvious the driver wanted into the boot of the Jeep for something and I was worried about what it was. I thought it must be a gun.
“He was going crazy, just lashing out at everyone and babbling p*sh in a foreign language the whole time.
“I’ve heard people say since that he was shouting ‘Allah!’ but I didn’t hear that. It just sounded like a lot of c**p to me.
“I ran for the guy and punched him twice in the face with pretty good right hooks.
“Then I kicked him with full force right in the balls but he didn’t go down. He just kept on babbling his rubbish.
“I couldn’t believe that he was still standing. I know I would have been floored by that kind of kick.”
Alex continued to take on the man, who was lashing out with his fists. He recalled: “He was a big guy and I’m not really a fighter, but his punches were wild and I managed to dodge them and make some good strikes myself.
“Luckily, more people joined in and we managed to beat the guy down. The police apparently caught the other man.
“I don’t think the policeman I saw at the scene drew his baton during the whole thing. He should have given it to me - I’d have leathered those guys with it.”
Alex added: “After the two guys were restrained, my memory gets a bit blurred. I think I got hit with some of the CS spray the police were firing at them.
“The next thing I knew I was waiting in a room at the airport for an ambulance with another member of the public. He’d been badly beaten by the guy in the T-shirt and he had a broken leg.
“But the paramedics still treated the burned guy first. He was being held by police in the next room .”
Alex spent hours at a Paisley police station telling detectives everything he could remember about the fight.
He said: “It was only after getting there that I really began to think about what had happened. I started shaking like a leaf.
“A police doctor looked me over and said I had damaged a tendon in my foot as a result of the kick I gave the second guy.
“I’ve got a few pains in my back as well but apart from that I’m unscathed.
“I didn’t get out of the police station until late on Saturday night.
“An officer eventually took me home but the police insisted on taking away all the clothes I had been wearing.”
Next day, Alex returned to the airport to pick up his red Skoda Octavia.
He said: “I couldn’t believe it when I discovered a £30 parking ticket on my cab. Considering I got it while trying to save hundreds of people, I would hope it will be cancelled.”
Alex’s wife Lynn, 40, said: “He risked his life because he thought people were in danger. He is an absolute hero.
“If he hadn’t been there, who knows what would have happened.”
Lynn, a catering assistant, added: “The first I knew about what had happened was when I phoned Alex to find out why he was late to pick me up.
“I’d been shopping and he was supposed to meet me, but when I called his mobile he said he was at the police station.”

'Scottish' cabbies. Now we know why it's a bad idea to try a terrorist attack on Scotland. I don't think Al Qaeda will target Scotland again in a hurry!
I think it's hilarious that he got a £30 parking ticket. It just goes to show that terrorisms or not bureaucrats must have their day.

There's a difference? :rolleyes: :D

Good for him. :aok
I suppose that given the location he'll no doubt be charged with excessive force in the treatment he rendered to the folks from the jeep.
-
I can't wait to see the whole thing on security video.
I read more than one account talking about how a guy with a fire extinguisher was trying to put out the burning terrorist and people were telling him "let the ***tard burn!".

Ask a Scotsman, Scots are fiercely proud of their Scottishness.
-
In fact, it seems only the English are referred to as British.
That's because it is so rare that the Scottish or Welsh do anything worthwhile, it is worth mentioning separately. :t

There was an Scotsman, an Englishman and Claudia Schiffer sitting together in a carriage in a train going through Wales. Suddenly the train went through a tunnel and as it was an old style train,there were no lights in the carriages and it went completely dark. Then there was this kissing noise and the sound of a really loud slap. When the train came out of the tunnel, Claudia Schiffer and the Scotsman were sitting as if nothing had happened and the Englishman had his hand against his face as he had been slapped.
The Englishman was thinking: 'The Scottish fella must have kissed Claudia Schiffer and she missed him and slapped me instead.'
Claudia Schiffer was thinking: 'The English fella must have tried to kiss me and actually kissed the Scotsman and got slapped for it.'
And the Scotsman was thinking: 'This is great. The next time the train goes through a tunnel I'll make that kissing noise and slap that English b**tard again .:p
