Extraordinary video on social media shows the moment an Australian hero disarms one of the apparent shooters near a Jewish celebration at Bondi Beach, potentially saving more lives.
The video shows one man repeatedly discharging a large firearm before a heavy-set bystander sneaks up behind him and wrestles the firearm from his grip before pointing it at him.
The man in white then takes several steps back and points the weapon at the man who had been previously shooting towards the beach.
The man previously holding the gun then falls to the ground before staggering away.
The hero then take the gun and places is upright against a palm tree and throws something towards the man in black.
The alleged gunman then makes his way to a bridge, with what appears to be a second gunman.
The footage appeared to be filmed from the balcony of a building overlooking the beach.
“Oh my god,” says one of the men in the room with the person filming.
Gunshots can continue to be heard in the footage after the man wearing black was disarmed.
The people filming have French accents as they commentated on the footage.
The man in white took an extreme risk, with another shooter wearing black standing on an overpass nearby.
Soon after taking the weapon, the man in white hides behind a palm tree as a man in black on the bridge appears to shoot at him.
The footage was posted on Tik Tok by an account called Corruptive Services, which was approached for comment about the incident.
However, the account had not responded and the footage was unverified, however, it was posted in the hours after the attack on Sunday and was consistent with other clips of the event.
The footage was called “BONDI SHOOTING NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPE GREAT WORK SIR”.
