A special meeting with the hero of last week, who managed to capture a shooter wanted by nearly 200 uniformed men.
We remind you of the unprecedented action in the Haskovo village of Sarnitsa, where a 55-year-old man raised the Ministry of Interior and the anti-terrorist task force to his feet after shooting at his neighbors and police officers.
In the end, he was detained by a local cowboy in the Kardzhali region, who managed to deal with him on his own. “To have something like this happen to me in my life … It was like a movie,” said Erdinc Aptish.
He is an ordinary breeder from the village of Komuniga, who a few days ago caught with his bare hands the search for 200 uniformed shooters from Sarnitsa. At noon on Tuesday, Erdinc grazed his animals when he learned of the action in the neighboring region and immediately called his neighborhood police officer.
“While grazing my animals in my free time, I watch social networks. Then I read about Sarnitsa and immediately called the police. I explained to him that the man could be hiding in Dushka. The neighborhood policeman sent me the photo of the fugitive, “Aptish said.
The police have already informed all but one of the mayors of the surrounding villages – only one person lives there and there is no scope. “He called and said that the person we are looking for is possible to go to the village of Dushka, because the nearest forest roads lead to this village,” explained junior intelligence officer Ivaylo Peev.
Erdinc is leaving for the village of Dushka to warn a local resident. As soon as he arrives, he sees that he has an uninvited guest.
“I was in the yard, and when I turned around I saw that the one with the rifle would aim at me. I told him I wasn’t a cop and he took a few steps back. For a hundredth of a second I managed to take his weapon and then ran away to call the policeman “, adds Apish.
Long chases began in the woods, and Erdinc talked to the junior officer on the phone the whole time. Then comes the denouement. “When he approached me, I aimed his rifle at him and hit him with my butt. He fell and dropped the knife, “the man explained.
After the fall, Erdinc managed to tie him up and waited for the police. “He tried to untie himself and told me, ‘Who you are, I will kill you,'” Erdinc added.
The man says he doesn’t feel like a hero. As such, he identifies the police officers who told him what to do.
“We tried to give him courage. “Don’t try to shoot at him, so that he doesn’t get bigger and at the same time beware of trying to stab him,” said intelligence officer Ivaylo Peev.
After the arrest, the shooter was taken to hospital for a gunshot wound. He has been charged with three counts and faces up to 20 years in prison. Erdinc continues to take care of his animals without feeling like a hero.
