UK Train Stabbing 'Hero' Leaves Hospital

Samir Zitouni, the 48-year-old British train worker who suffered multiple, critical injuries while protecting passengers during a mass stabbing on November 1, has been discharged from the hospital.

Praised by police and the transport minister as a “hero” who “undoubtedly saved people’s lives,” Zitouni’s family released a statement expressing gratitude for the public’s support.

While they are happy he is home, they emphasised that he still has a “significant recovery ahead” and requested privacy to care for him.
