Ex-boxer saves hostage at airport with bare hands

A dramatic hostage situation unfolded at Almaty Airport, Kazakhstan, when a 67-year-old man took a young female security officer hostage at knifepoint, threatening to detonate a bomb.

But in a moment of extraordinary bravery, Musa Abdraim, a 52-year-old father of five and former boxing champion, stepped forward and offered to trade places with the terrified woman.

As the airport held its breath, Abdraim seized the perfect moment, lunged forward, and disarmed the attacker with his bare hands.

His heroic actions saved a life and prevented a potential tragedy.

Caught on shocking video, this real-life act of courage has earned him national recognition—and a state medal from Kazakhstan’s President.
