Wild video shows a hero former boxer bravely swapping places with a woman
being held hostage at knifepoint at an airport � then fighting back and
swiping the crazed kidnapper�s weapon from him.

The unidentified attacker was filmed grabbing screaming security guard
Botagoz Mukhtarova, 21, by her ponytail at Almaty Airport in Kazakhstan �
then aggressively threatening her with a large knife and claiming to have
a bomb, according to East2West News.

As other security guards watch on helplessly, father of five Musa Abdraim,
52, calmly walks up and offers to swap places with the screaming hostage.

�I saw that he was going to stab her,� Abdraim said. �I told him, �Take me hostage instead of her.�

The kidnapper agrees, with the footage showing him releasing Mukhtarova
and inside grabbing hold of Abdraim, pointing the knife at his replacement hostage.

After patiently waiting for the right moment, Abdraim suddenly reaches
across and snatches the knife from the suspect�s right hand.

After a brief struggle, several officers pounce on the attacker, who now
faces up to 12 years in prison for the terrifying incident, officials have said.

Abdraim said he acted instinctively. He claimed he used to be a fighter, participating in combat sports like boxing, martial arts, and kickboxing
but admitted �that was a long time ago.�

It�s unclear what the knife-wielder wanted.

�He told the policemen he would press a button on the phone, and
everything would blow up,� said Abdraim, who�d only gone to the airport to
see relatives.

Kazakh law enforcement confirmed the suspect could face up to 12 years in prison as they continue a criminal investigation into the frightening
incident.

�Police officers, with the help of airport security and the hero citizen, disarmed the offender and took him to the police room,� cops said in a statement.

Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev has already declared that Musa Abdraim will be awarded a state medal for his remarkable bravery.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.
