This handout photo taken and received from the NSW Premier's Department on December 15, 2025 shows Ahmed Al Ahmed, the man who tackled and disarmed one of the Bondi beach attackers, talking to New South Wales Premier Chris Minns at St George Hospital in Sydney. A father and son killed 15 people at Bondi Beach on December 14, targeting a Jewish festival that marked the start of Hanukkah. Footage showed Ahmed ducking between parked cars as the shooting unfolded and then wresting a gun from one of the assailant's hands.

Ahmed al Ahmed and an indelible message to the world

16-12-2025 21:17 Ahmed al Ahmed had no obligation to risk his life as he did; he wasn't a police officer or a civil servant. He was simply a "true believer" in the human values of life, regardless of colour, sex, or religion.
