A Sydney father-of-two is being praised as a hero after risking his life to take down a gunman during a horrifying mass shooting at Bondi Beach.
Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, owns a fruit shop in Sutherland and had no experience with firearms when he stepped into the line of fire.
But that didn’t stop him from leaping into action in what’s now being called an act of incredible bravery.
Ahmed was shot twice during the confrontation and is currently recovering in hospital after undergoing surgery.
“He’s in hospital and we don’t know exactly what’s going on inside,” his cousin Mustafa told 7News.
“We do hope he will be fine. He’s a hero 100 per cent.”
