A bystander was filmed tackling and disarming a gunman during Sunday’s terror attack on a Hanukkah event in Sydney, with media naming him as Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old Muslim father of two who owns a local produce store.

At least 15 people were killed and dozens were wounded when two gunmen opened fire on the event held at the Australian city’s iconic Bondi Beach.

Dramatic footage showed the unarmed Ahmed wrestling the weapon from one of the two gunmen, before pointing the attacker’s weapon at him.

According to Ahmed’s cousin, he was shot twice in the arm during the altercation, and was taken to a local hospital for surgery.

“He’s in hospital and we don’t know exactly what’s going on inside,” the cousin, named only as Mustafa, told 7News. “We do hope he will be fine. He’s a hero, 100 percent.”

According to the Australian outlet, Ahmed had no experience with guns prior to the incident, and was shot by the second gunman, who was perched on a nearby footbridge, after succeeding in taking the gun from the first assailant.
