PARIS ATTACKS: Hostage made jokes with Islamic State killers to ease tension in Bataclan theatre

The pregnant woman who was pulled to safety as she hung from a window at Bataclan theatre has told how her saviour tried to make jokes with the Islamic State (IS) killers in a bid to defuse tension with the killers.

The woman’s fate was unknown for days. However, not only did she survive the attacks, she has also traced the man who rescued her.

Her hero, Sébastien, said he had hidden on a stairwell but was spotted by a gunman and “felt the barrel of a Kalashnikov against my leg”.
