Thomas Salbey, 57, saw the shooting happening from his balcony in the Bavarian capital on July 22.

In an attempt to stop 18 year old Ali Sonboly from further slaughtering people, he swore at the shooter as he was standing in a car park below.

Sonboly shouted at him: "I am a German."

Footage of the feisty exchange went viral as thousands praised Mr Salbey for standing up to the deluded teenager.

The plucky German also hurled a beer bottle at the attacker in a desperate attempt to stop him.

He said: “All I had was a beer bottle to throw at him, but if I had a gun I would have shot him in the head.”

German-Iranian gunman who killed nine in Munich worshipped HITLER Loner Sonboly had just shot dead nine people, mainly young teenagers he had lured to McDonald’s on the premise of free food.

The German-Iranian also injured 16 others during the rampage before he killed himself a kilometre away from the Munich Olympiad shopping centre he carried the shooting out at.

Now, in a twist of German justice, Mr Salbey is now facing charges for standing up to the killer who shot himself in the head.

Florian Weinzierl, spokesman from the Munich State Prosecutor’s office, confirmed the Munich resident is being investigated.

He said the post-shooting exchange between Mr Salbey and Sonboly had no influence on their actions.

Munich Getty Most of the dead were children What will be included in the charges remains to be established, as it whether they will be brought forward.

But Mr Weinzierl, suggested they could include “insults to the detriment of the dead.”

According to the spokesman, a court review will be completed soon.

Munich Getty Sonboly escaped onto a roof where Mr Salbey shouted at him from his balcony Munich Getty Germany was in mourning over several attacks Shortly after the shooting, it was revealed Sonboly considered himself Aryan, despite his Iranian heritage, and held racist view, including a deep hatred for Turks and Arabs.

Iran is considered to be the home of the Aryan race and Sonboly was said to be proud of his Iranian ancestry despite his dislike for neighbouring countries in the Middle East.

The right-wing killer also said it was an “honour” to have shared his birthday - April 20 - with Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

Materials found at the gunman's home also showed he had been hospitalised for three months to treat a mental health condition and was an avid player of violent video games.

Sorry, the present German Government are NOT our natural allies. Its a case of our statist-progressive elites aligning with their statist-progressive elites for some temporary meeting of cynical interests. We need to readjust NATO to take consideration of this fact.

The Munich State Prosecutors office needs to be fumigated. If they do something like this, they all deserve to die at the hands of the “refugees.”

It is coming. If Hillary is elected the forceful elimination of “Islamophobia” by white Americans will become the policy of the United States. The government you pay for is about to target you...big league.

Was the guy shouting Allah Akbar as he shot people in Munich a "right-winger" or just a racist Muslim Jew-hater?

"Facing charges" doesn't necessarily mean charges are being pressed by the authorities.

If charges are brought, it would be wrong and outrageous, but maybe some reporter concocted the story that he could be prosecuted and some weaselly prosecutor just didn't deny it.

That’s why it’s war. Figuratively speaking, for now.

It’s in the video.

Basically they want to silence opposition to migration. The spin and disinformation begins immediately.

This is a message to other Germans not to share the truth.

With Germany, you never know what’s gonna happen next.

Their Germanic pride could kick in and the muslims would be in trouble.

Only THIS time, keep your Germanic pride to yourself and your borders.

And stop the paranoia that Jews are enemies.

Israel alone really sees muzzies for what they are.
