Syrian-born Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, who risked his life to disarm one of the Bondi attackers and save multiple lives in Sydney, is now being hailed as a hero. There has been an outpouring of support with over $1M raised as he recovers in the hospital from gunshot wounds. Here’s more on the man:
The Premier of New South Wales, Chris Minns, posted this picture with Ahmed Al Ahmed, the man who disarmed a shooter during the Bondi Beach attack yesterday.
Ahmed sustained injuries during the confrontation and is now recovering in hospital.
Minns wrote: “Ahmed is a real-life hero. Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk.
“It was an honour to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW.”
