In an extraordinary act of courage, Ahmed al Ahmed, a father-of-two and fruit shop owner, took down one of the attackers at the Bondi Beach terror incident by grabbing his gun and disarming him. At the Hanukkah event, the attackers fired indiscriminately, leading to tragic casualties.
Ahmed was caught on video tackling one of the gunmen, demonstrating unparalleled bravery. The footage spread quickly across social media, highlighting his heroic actions.
‘Can someone please set up a verified account so we can reward him and his family,’ Bill Ackman urged on social media after seeing Ahmed’s bravery.
In response, a GoFundMe campaign was launched, with one of the first significant donations coming from Bill Ackman himself, who contributed $100,000.
Ahmed remains hospitalized, recovering from surgery after suffering bullet wounds while grappling with the assailant. His actions have sparked immense gratitude from the global community.
