The vet walks calmly, cooly and easily over to the pole, picks it up carefully, takes his time to size up the threat.

He knows what he's doing.

This is the kind of guy you want nearby when things go badly.

When he delivers the incapacitating blow, that's when the other men move in to help.

Only a relatively small number of people will be truly brave and heroic. But there's a larger number of people who will happily and easily follow those people into battle when the time comes. That's just how it is.

The veteran's name, by the way, is Demario Davis:

"I was at the checkout when my son noticed the guy walk in with the knife open," Davis told FOX News Digital, adding that the suspect then walked to the service desk waving the knife at a few female employees — who took off running from the guy.

"I then asked a female employee, ‘where is security?' And she stated she was security," Davis recalled. "As I'm walking towards the area where the gentleman waving the knife is terrorizing other customers and employees, he yelled out when the cops get here I'm going to start cutting you all up."

Davis told FOX News Digital that another customer tried to subdue the man waving the knife, "but the guy tried to cut him in the face."

"That's when my military training kicked in, and I casually walked over to the object not only to take him down but also protect myself in case I failed, but with my great military training I was able to neutralize the threat until law enforcement arrived," Davis added.

The young man has a message for everyone out there who finds themselves in similar situations:

"I'm a community person, so if I see something in the community that's not right, with all the violence and things and attacks going on, gun violence you know, you want your people in the community to step up as well," Davis continued. "The cops can't do it all by themselves."
