WATCH: Footage Shows Moment SECOND Bondi Beach Hero Disarms Gunman Before Getting Mistakenly SH*T By Police

Go to Article

It turns out that there was not just one hero the day of the fatal mass shooting in Bondi Beach, which claimed the lives of at least 15 innocent people and injured many others.

Another man — whose name has not been released, but was identified as a refugee from the Middle East — jumped into action to disarm one of the terrorists firing at the crowd.

After the gunman was downed by police, this man ran up to kick his rifle away.

However, the brave civilian was mistaken as a shooter and also shot by law enforcement.

Other members of the crowd, believing him to be one of the terrorists, then attacked him.

Watch the shocking moment here for yourself:

Two terrorists — a father and son — committed the mass shooting on Sunday.

In the end, they were both disarmed by civilian heroes and survived being shot — one by a terrorist and one by the police.

Daily Mail has more details on these heroes who helped stopped the terrorist attack:

The man has been identified by his lawyer as a Middle Eastern refugee who has lived in Australia for around a decade but remains on a temporary visa with no guaranteed path to permanent residency. He has an Australian wife and Australian children.

Alison Battisson, the immigration lawyer representing the hero said her client had only just arrived at Bondi Beach when he heard gunfire and ran toward it while others fled.

‘He got out of a taxi, heard the shooting, other people ran away and he ran towards the sound of the shooting,’ she said.

Despite the praise he has received, Battisson said her client’s immigration status remains unresolved.

‘He’s got an Australian partner and Australian children but he has no right to stay in Australia long term to be with them,’ she said.

‘It’s open to public opinion as to whether somebody who put himself in significant danger to help the Australian community has earned a right to stay in Australia.’

Fifteen people were killed in Sunday night’s mass shooting, including a ten-year-old girl, with dozens more left seriously injured.

The terrifying shooting unfolded as hundreds gathered to attend the Jewish Chanukah by the Sea event, marking the first day of Hanukkah.

The suspects were named in local media as Sajid Akram, 50, and his son, Naveed, 24. They are said to have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State.

The other hero, Ahmed el Ahmed, who wrestled a gun from one of the alleged attackers, is also recovering in the hospital. A GoFundMe page set up on his behalf has reached more than $1million.

The Muslim man arrived in Sydney more than a decade ago from Syria. He is the father of two daughters aged five and six.

Mr Ahmed’s mother has said she couldn’t stop crying when she found out her son was the hero who had saved countless lives at Bondi Beach.

Absolutely crazy stuff.

The competency of the Australian police is rightfully being called into question over this…

God Bless both of these heroes.
