On the 5th day of the trial over the foiled Paris train attack in August 2015, Anthony Sadler and Aleksander Skarlatos, two of the three Americans whose heroic intervention stopped assailant Ayoub El Khazzani, arrive at the Palais de Justice in Paris to give evidence. Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood made the 2018 film "The 15:17 to Paris" about the events of August 21, 2015 and had even been listed as a possible witness in the trial but will in the end not have to give testimony.

Paris, Nov 20 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Ian Langsdon/Mohammed Badra) US citizens Alek Skarlatos and Anthony Sadler leave the courtroom and hold a news conference during the fifth day of the Thalys attack trial, in Paris. On 21 August 2015, gunman Ayoub El-Khazzani opened fire with an assault rifle, shot and wounded three people on a Thalys train travelling between Amsterdam and Paris before the assailant was overpowered by passengers. The incident happened near Arras, in northern France, shortly after 1600 GMT and the gunman was arrested when the train stopped at the town's station.FOOTAGE OF SKARLATOS IN FRONT OF PRESS AFTER THE TRIAL IN PARIS.
