Bystander Heroically Wrestles Gunman During Deadly Bondi Beach Attack — Captured in Video

Gunfire erupted at the beach. In the chaos, a lone man made a move so bold and unexpected that it quickly became the moment everyone was talking about.

A man is being hailed as a hero after he disarmed one of the attackers during a deadly shooting at a Hanukkah celebration on Bondi Beach, Australia, on December 14, 2025. The dramatic moment was captured on video and quickly spread online.

Witness footage shows the man hiding behind a parked car as shots rang out. He suddenly rushed one of the gunmen, tackled him to the ground, and grabbed his firearm. He then briefly aimed the weapon toward the other attackers.

The man, later identified as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, was injured in the struggle and taken to the hospital. According to 7News Australia, doctors told his family that he was "very okay" and recovering.

Meanwhile, al Ahmed's cousin, who was at the hospital, praised his actions. "He's a hero, 100 percent he's a hero," he said. The investigation into the shooting is ongoing.
