A corrections officer intervened when the man approached Mr Boztas and another man, Abdul Aziz, and began yelling. Abdul Aziz, who chased away gunman Brenton Tarrant with an Eftpos machine at Linwood mosque on March 15, speaks to journalists outside the Christchurch High Court. But Mr Aziz and Mr Boztas said they were not taking any of his comments on board. Mr Boztas said you can be a good, tax-paying New Zealand resident "and then you get idiots, like this that put you down." "It's because he hasn't lost any of his family ... that's why he's saying [these things]," Mr Aziz said.
