In an interview to La Province Sebastian descried how he spotted the woman while he was hiding in a air vent that he had climbed into through a window.

She was in the very next window, screaming desperately for someone to help her. "She was begging people down below if they would catch her if she jumped. But it was chaos down there. We were 15 metres above the ground," Sebastian said.

"I held on for five minutes and then the pregnant woman, who was exhausted, begged me to help her get back inside. That's what I did."

"I don't know where she went afterwards but I went back to my old hiding place which wasn't great. Five minutes later I felt the barrel of a Kalashnikov against my leg and a terrorist yelling: 'Get down from there... Lie on the ground’ Sebastian said as he recalled the incident.

Friends of woman who was saved by Sebastian took to social media to thank him for his bravery, as the woman wishes to remain anonymous. Her friends informed the media that the woman is healthy and safe.
