In a video, the bystander was seen running up to the attacker from behind and then grabbing the shotgun from him before pointing the weapon back at him.
A bystander hailed a hero after he tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen in the Bondi Beach shooting is a shop owner.
The man, named by a relative as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, was seen in a video running up to the attacker from behind and then grabbing the shotgun from his hands before pointing the weapon back at him.
The footage then showed the terrorist heading towards a bridge where another gunman was located, while the bystander placed the gun beside a tree.
On another platform, someone claimed he was maronite christian. I guess I’ll have to wait until someone asks him in an interview. 🤷
This seems unlikely. Ahmed comes from the same root as Muhammad. His cousin was interviewed and named Mustapha, also an epithet of Muhammad. I don’t know too much about Maronite Christian naming conventions, but these two names have a pretty explicit association with Muhammad in Arabic.
