Lassana Bathily, a 24-year-old Muslim from Mali, tells he hid customers into the cold store at the Hyper Cacher supermarket in Porte de Vincennes, where Ahmedi Couibaly had taken a number of people hostage
An employee of the kosher supermarket in Paris that was attacked on Friday was hailed as hero after he was credited as saving 15 people trapped inside.
Lassana Bathily, a 24-year-old Muslim from Mali, said he took 15 people in the store's basement and hid them inside a freezer.
"When they came out they congratulated me. They told me 'thank you, really'. I said 'it's nothing, that's life'," Bathily recalled.
Four hostages were found dead at the market on Friday, killed by gunman Ahmedi Couibaly, prosecutors said.
Fifteen hostages were freed.
