The bond between a barber and the man who saved his life in the Christchurch mosque attacks

March 9, 2020

Lance put his life on the line to help those who had been hurt, including Wasseim, who was shot three times.

When Wasseim Sati brought his family to Christchurch, his dream was to give them a better life.

The talented barber from Jordan had an idea to start own business, operating out of a truck, which he was due to pick up on the day of the March 15, 2019 mosque attacks.

Wasseim was shot three times and left with life-threatening injuries.

But he was rescued by a passing tradesman Lance Bradford whose bravery and quick thinking ensured Wasseim and others got safely to hospital within minutes of the attack.

Now a year on, and thanks to the generosity of locals, Wasseim’s dream barber truck is about to be revealed.
