Matthew was shot by terrorists but managed to drag himself out to the street where a French journalist came to his aid

An American who escaped from terrorists at the Eagles of Death Metal gig in the Bataclan the night of the Paris attacks had also survived the 9/11 attacks in New York.

The 36-year-old named Matthew was shot in the leg by attackers in the Bataclan, but pretended to be dead and dragged himself to safety as the killers reloaded their weapons.

"I inched forward centimetre by centimetre. At one point, I saw the ledge of the exit at arm's reach," he told French newspaper Le Monde.

"I was able to grip it with one finger, then the other."

Outside he was found by Daniel Psenny, a Le Monde journalist, and another man.

"I was playing dead," Matthew said. "When I felt someone dragging me by the arms, I didn't even look up. I said, or at least in my head ? 'I love you, my angel.'"
