A 43-year-old fruit seller is being hailed as a national hero in Australia after video footage captured him tackling and disarming one of the gunmen during the terrorist attack on a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach.
Ahmed al-Ahmed was shot twice while confronting the assailant, an act of bravery that officials say undoubtedly saved lives during the massacre, which has been declared the country's deadliest mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur tragedy.
