Mr Lambie told the court that when he used his extinguisher to try to damp down the building, an Asian man had approached and told him to stop. | |
"I thought he was going to have a go at me so I hit him in the face with the jet of water. I thought he was on drugs or something. He just could not focus on me." | |
Mr Lambie said two police officers had run over and ordered the man to step away from the car but he had run off. | |
"I said 'Get back'. He pointed towards the vehicle and said 'There are bombs'," said Mr Lambie. | |
The court has previously heard that the device in the Jeep failed to detonate and that Dr Abdulla was arrested at the scene. |
