A man is being hailed as a hero after he disarmed one of the two men who opened fire at a crowd of people celebrating Hanukkah on Sydney’s Bondi Beach over the weekend. Officials says at least 15 people were killed and at least another 42 people were hospitalized.

Video shared on social media shows an unarmed man walking up behind one of the suspected gunmen and grabbing him around the neck, wrestling with and eventually disarming the gunman, who falls to the ground before walking away.

The gunmen were a father and son, according to officials. The elder gunman, aged 50, was shot and killed by police. His 24-year-old son was wounded and remains hospitalized.

The man being heralded for his bravery has been identified as 43-year-old Ahmed al Ahmed, a fruit shop owner.
