IT has been just over a week since 130 people were killed in a series of deadly attacks across Paris and now an off-duty nurse has revealed the moment he realised he was performing CPR on one of the suicide bombers.

David, 46, was at the Comptoir Voltaire cafe enjoying a night off from work when the attack happened reported Reuters.

“I go to this man that I could see out of the corner of my eye. I take him out of this tangle of chairs, tables, and I put him on the floor ... but I noticed that on the side of his body there was an enormous hole. A large hole on his side,” David told Reuters.

“When I ripped it, this T-shirt — I saw some wires. On the ground there was blood and I noticed the first bolts on the ground. Then I understood immediately. I told myself, ‘it’s an explosion, it’s a suicide bomber’ and I knew it was him. And at that precise moment when I realised what he was, the emergency services arrived.”

It turns out David was in fact trying to resuscitate Brahim Abdeslam, one of the suicide bombers and the brother of Salah Abdeslam who is still on the run.

Police have said David and others in the cafe were extremely lucky that Abdeslam’s bomb didn’t explode properly otherwise much more damage would have been caused.

For David he says he continues to relive the moment again and again.
