“He was shot twice, but he’s fine.”

“He is in the hospital and we don’t know exactly what is happening. But the doctors told us that he is fine. Two hours later, they let us in to see Ahmad.” Mutafá thus spoke to the media about his relative, Ahmed.

Ahmed al Ahmed, a 43-year-old Muslim fruit seller, has become the “hero” of the anti-Semitic attack on Bondi Beach, in Sydney. Two gunmen opened fire on a crowd of people, leaving at least 11 dead and dozens injured.

“He’s a hero.” The qualification is not for less. Crouched between two garbage containers, the fruit seller approached one of the two shooters of the massacre. From behind, he lunged at him and managed to snatch the rifle from him. Ahmed pointed his gun at him, but did not shoot.

“He is still inside because they are operating on him, but let’s hope everything turns out well. He is a 100% hero, because everything we have seen on social networks is about him being a hero. He has two shots, one in an arm and another in a hand,” added his relative.
