Police have called one New Lynn terror attack victim's actions as nothing short of heroic

Five people are recovering at home and three are stable in hospital, after the stabbing at an Auckland supermarket early this month.

A review of CCTV footage shows victim Rodney Khan ran straight towards danger when he heard people in distress, and distracted the terrorist ... who then turned on him.

Police say they have no doubt Rodney's actions prevented further injury to others.

He's recovering from a dislocated shoulder.
