A heroic shopkeeper tackled and disarmed one of the terrorists who opened fire on a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration in Australia Sunday.
Video captured the moment that the good Samaritan, wearing a white shirt, sneaked up behind the shotgun-wielding gunman and wrestled the weapon away from him.
The video shows the terrorist falling to the ground and then scampering away.
At least 12 people were killed, including children, and 29 were injured after two terrorists opened fire at the Chanukah by the Sea event on the famed Sydney beach.
One of the attackers was killed and the other is in custody, according to authorities.
The onslaught lasted at least 10 minutes before the terrorists were taken down.
The hero’s family identified him as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, a father of two from Sydney who runs a fruit stand, according to news.com.au.
The man’s cousin told 7News that he was shot twice during the confrontation and is undergoing surgery.
“We do hope he will be fine. He’s a hero 100 percent,” the relative said.
In the video, Ahmed waited for the terrorist, wielding a long gun, to pause in between shots before grabbing him in a bear hug.
After a tussle, Ahmed came up with the gun and pointed it at the attacker.
