A father-of-two fruit shop owner, identified as Ahmed al Ahmed, bravely tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen at Bondi Beach. Ahmed, 43, was captured on video wrestling the gun away from the attacker after being shot twice. His cousin, Mustafa, confirmed Ahmed’s heroic act and expressed hope for his recovery in the hospital.
Reports reveal that one of the gunmen involved in the Bondi Beach incident was Naveed Akram from Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s south-west. Law enforcement officials, speaking anonymously, disclosed that Akram’s residence is currently under police investigation, with Akram himself being treated at a hospital.
Tragically, a terrorist attack at Bondi Beach during a Jewish celebration has claimed the lives of at least 12 individuals and left 29 others injured. The attackers, armed with guns, opened fire on a crowd at Archer Park, targeting the Hanukkah festivities. Amidst the chaos, Ahmed intervened without any prior experience with firearms but managed to disarm one of the assailants, earning praise from Premier Chris Minns as a true hero.
The community mourns the loss and condemns the heinous attack on what was supposed to be a joyous occasion. Authorities are actively investigating the incident, with Akram in custody while the identity of the second gunman remains undisclosed. Solidarity and support are extended to the affected Jewish community during this difficult time.
