A Muslim bystander captured on video tackling and disarming an armed man who opened fire and killed 12 people at a Jewish holiday event at Sydney's Bondi Beach on Sunday has been hailed as a hero.
The man, identified as Sydney local Ahmed al-Ahmed, a 43-year-old father of two, was taken to the hospital after being shot twice in the incident.
Footage circulating on social media shows him in a car park wearing a white shirt, before he runs up to a man in a dark shirt who is holding a rifle. He then tackles the armed man from behind, wrenching the rifle from him with his hands before pointing the gun back at him.
Footage then shows the man in a dark shirt losing his footing, backing away towards a bridge where another shooter was located, while the al-Ahmed places the gun down on the ground.
Al-Ahmed's cousin, Mustafa, confirmed it was him, in comments made to reporters outside the hospital. Mustafa said his cousin is a fruit shop owner in Sutherland and has no experience with guns, and was just walking past when he decided to confront the shooter…..
