Incredible footage taken by Tunisian hotel worker as he CHASES gunman during the attack for 11 minutes and even picks up a bottle to attack him with [Images Inc…]

 

  • Unnamed worker filmed the end of the gunman’s rampage on his phone
  • Follows Seifeddine Rezgui through the hotel grounds and up the beach
  • Video released as it was revealed British death toll could reach up to 30

This is the incredible moment a hotel worker chased the Tunisian gunman moments after he slaughtered 38 innocent tourists.

The unnamed man, who filmed the end of the massacre on his phone, can be seen running after Seifeddine Rezgui as the ISIS militant selects his targets.

At one point he even picks up what appears to be a bottle of olive oil as he attempts to sneak up behind the 23-year-old assassin to disarm him.

The 11-minute video was released as it emerged the number of Britons killed in the terror attack in Sousse on Friday could reach 30.

The footage begins in the grounds of a tourist hotel, part way through the crazed gunman’s 25-minute rampage.

The worker is one of a large group, which includes tourists still in their swimwear, trying to make sense of what is happening as shots can be heard in the background.

As he zigzags through empty sunbeds and attempts to hide behind a bush, a large explosion goes off nearby, thought to be from a grenade.

Remarkably, the group continues to follow Rezgui as he makes the way closer to the hotel lobby.

As they get near to him, the video shows the attacker holding his gun in the air as he makes his way past empty restaurant tables.

In an incredible show of bravery, the cameraman can be seen taking what appears to be a bottle of olive oil off a table as he begins to follow Rezgui just metres behind him.

But, as he edges closer, the gunman turns round and points his assault rifle directly at him.

As other citizens start arriving at the hotel, they spot the killer – who is still armed – on the beach and begin to run after him.

The devastating effect of the attack is clear, as innocent victims lay dead near the sunbeds they had been enjoying just minutes before.

The clip ends as police officers can be seen shooting Rezgui, who was discovered praying in a side street.

The release of the footage comes as a retired police officer told how a second gunman in red shorts is also believed to have opened fire on the north African beach.

Steve Johnson, who witnessed the attack first hand, described how he saw a man in red shorts shooting tourists with an automatic rifle along with the gunman in dark clothing.

The account suggests that the gunman was not a ‘lone wolf’ as current reports state.

Thousands of terrified tourists were also flown home from the country in one of the biggest airlifts ever organised by British tour companies.

Wave after wave of empty aircraft were dispatched from the UK in response to pleas by British visitors traumatised by the beach massacre and desperate to return home to worried loved ones.

Departure lounges became so crowded that hundreds of people had to wait outside for their flights to safety.
