You are with friends at a corner table in a cosy, candle-lit little bistro when in walks an obviously deranged man wielding a knife but seemingly having no other weapons.

He stands with his back to you shouting loudly in Arabic including the words "Allah Akhbar" so he is patently a 'terrorist'.

He stabs a nearby seated customer and continues to slash at him.

Near you is a very heavy solid brass floor candlestick - you glance at it then at the terrorist's back.

Do you:

a) Pick it up and smash it across his head until he falls to the ground?

b) Tell your bigger, stronger mate to smash the terrorist with it?

c) Do nothing and pray that the terrorist does not kill you?

d) Just try to flee?

Honest answers please - though I realise that it is impossible to really KNOW what any of us would really do in such a situation - I' feel sure that I would do a).
