Fifty minutes later he was arrested with a gas can and a knife after another member of the message board, on the other side of the world, alerted authorities. JP Neufeld explains why he called the police.

Congratulations to J. P. Neufeld, a true hero, though not quite on the level of firefighters entering a burning building!
