"Heroic Hunk: Aussie Heartthrob Stops Knife-Wielding Killer"

French national Damien Guerot, dubbed the "Bollard Man," gained fame in Australia for bravely confronting a knife-wielding assailant who killed six people and injured others in a mall stabbing. Video footage captured Damien using a plastic pole to stop the attacker from reaching an escalator. Despite refusing to call himself a hero, Damien's bravery earned him praise and even a permanent residency offer from Australian officials, including Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, who commended his "extraordinary bravery."
