Jaden Perry hero bystander risks his life at Alaska State Fair disarming gunman in Anchorage [VIDEO]

A selfless spectator has been hailed a hero for preventing an out-of-control brawl at a crowded Alaska State Fair from turning deadly by disarming a man who suddenly pulled out a gun.

Jaden Perry, 24, of Eagle River, intervened in the fight Monday after seeing one of the eight guys involved flashing a weapon.

In the aftermath, Perry told Anchorage reporters that he was more concerned with the safety of the young families that were still passing through the fairgrounds than with his own.

‘The first thought that went through my head is there are kids everywhere,’ Perry told KTUU.

‘I didn’t think much during it, but afterwards I’m glad I did. I would do it again every time. Last thing anybody needs to do is bury their child, take their kid to the hospital, or even a parent — they were everywhere.’

Viral video captured Perry managing to wrestle the gun away from the gun wielding man. Video shows Perry unloading the clip and emptying the chamber as the offender still held on to the gun.

Jaden Perry hero bystander hailed a hero disarming gunman at packed Alaska State Fair in Anchorage.

Perry said the gunman told him he was going to shoot in self-defense, despite the fair being crowded that day.

Perry’s selflessness led to fair organizers, hailing Perry as a hero.

‘The Alaska State Fair commends the civilian for his actions to assist CMS in disarming the individual. His actions were heroic,’ Melissa Keefe, Alaska State Fair director of marketing and communications, said in a statement.

Gun violence pervasive in America

'In addition, the actions of numerous unarmed CMS personnel who took steps to de-escalate the physical altercations that occurred concurrently during the incident should be applauded.'

Perry and many fair staffers were seen hurrying over to break up the ensuing altercation. While some of those involved were captured slipping and sliding on the rain-soaked pavement, one young man pulled out a revolver and attempted to cock it, according to surveillance footage.

Perry grabbed the man's arms to stop him from firing, as others pushed the gun-wielding man away.

'Let it go!' one man shouted.

'Stop fighting!' another one commands.
Some of the brawlers, still intent on continuing aggressions, tried to body-slam their pacifiers, but to no avail.

Speaking about the ‘all too real’ prevalence of gun violence, Perry said, ‘People need to be aware [that] things go wrong at any minute, no matter where you are. It’s not okay for that to happen — at all. That should not have happened in the first place, but people do need to be aware that this is the thing that happens,’ Perry told KTUU.

‘We’re in an age where this is common. And it saddens me, it does, no matter what kind of gun control or gun laws are put out there, this will happen.’

While Perry has no military experience, his impressive ability to de-escalate the situation was highlighted by those commenting on the video posted to TikTok.

It’s unclear if any of the men involved in the fight were arrested or what sparked the dispute in the first place.

Authorities continue to investigate. Welcome to a brave new America.
