British troops of the King's Own Royal Border Regiment and the Queen's Dragoon Guards subsequently put down the SAA mutiny, rescuing officers from the camp guardroom. However unrest had spread to the Aden Armed Police who seized their barracks in the Crater District of Aden and fired from windows on a passing patrol of 2 Land Rovers carrying British troops, killing all except for one young soldier, Fusilier John Storey, who fled to a nearby apartment block and held a family hostage for 3 hours until back-up returned (John Storey later recounted the incident on the 1985 ITV Programme "End of Empire" and a more detailed account in a documentary "Britain’s Small wars - a look at Aden" in 2007.). The AAP, together with armed nationalist fighters, then proceeded to occupy Crater.
