Meet the 4-Year-Old Who Confronted Gunmen Who Attacked Kenyan Mall - told one, "You are a Very Bad Man"

According to UK Daily Mail, 4-year-old Elliot Prior, from Windsor, Berkshire, told one of the terrorists that he was a 'very bad man' as he protected his mother, Amber, who had been shot in the leg, and six-year-old sister Amelie. The attacker took pity on the family and bizarrely handed the children 'Mars bars' before telling them: 'Please forgive me, we are not monsters.'

4 year old Elliot and his sister Amelie are pictured holding Mars bars while being led away from the Westgate mall after being

given the chocolate by a gunman who spared their lives. 

His mother, Amber, told of her family’s terrifying escape from Al Shabaab terrorists who butchered 62 people in the Nairobi shopping centre.

The film producer had been queuing to buy milk in Nairobi's Westgate Shopping Centre when the militants struck.

She hid under a cold meat counter in the Nakumatt supermarket for an hour-and-a-half with her children beneath her before terrorists finally found them and shot her in the thigh. Elliot's uncle, Alex Coutts, told The Sun:'They had a lucky escape. The terrorists said if any of the kids were alive in the supermarket they could leave. 'Amber made the decision to stand up and say "yes".'

'Then Elliot started arguing with them and called them bad men. He was very brave.'

After discovering the advertising producer was of French origin, the men began to plead with her and claimed that the Muslim faith ‘was not a bad one’.‘He told me I had to change my religion to Islam and said “do you forgive us? Do you forgive us?’'Naturally, I was going to say whatever they wanted and they let us go’. 

Bizarrely, the terrorists handed the children Mars bars before they fled with two other children, including a 12-year-old boy who had at first refused to leave his dead mother.
