The man, who would have been an expert non-commissioned officer, was shopping when he heard the attack. At that time, he went to the car where he left his bags and put his combat equipment on before entering the luxurious Dusit D2, where the attack was underway.
The elite soldier, in a cage, with an assault rifle in his hand and a bulletproof vest over civilian clothes, according to photographs published in the press, has entered the hotel to help evacuate the survivors. He would have fired several times in attacks.
"Without this British special forces soldier, many more lives would have been lost," said a senior British soldier, quoted by the Daily Mirror tabloid.
Several photographs show the army accompanying a woman outside the hotel complex. He is seen driving other survivors or looking for a man with raised hands.
The British authorities do not communicate on special forces but, according to the press, the soldier is in Nairobi as part of a training and consulting mission in Kenya.
The attack, led by five Somali extremist fighters of al-Qaeda, caused 21 deaths and caused the evacuation of over 700 people.
Al-Shabab Somali militants have made numerous bloody attacks in Kenya in recent years, including the Westgate shopping center in 2013, three kilometers from Dusit D2.
