An asylum seeker intervened in the Bondi Beach terror attack but was shot at by police and attacked by members of the public.

New video footage from the scene shows the man climbing the stairs to the bridge where the two gunmen lay injured after being shot by police marksmen.

The member of the public is seen kicking a weapon away from the terrorists – but police continue firing at the bridge, causing the man to duck for cover.

As police close in on the injured gunmen, the refugee is then challenged by members of the public, who mistake him for a terrorist.

    Do you think people have drone vision or something? This is happening in the midst of chaos. Just because you can see it in the video doesn’t mean people around there can see what is happening. There is a wall around him. NOBODY can see him kicking the gun.

      I see your point and accept it. However, I don’t think that takes away from the broader fact that this is significantly less likely to happen to white people compared to Middle Eastern.
