Who is Ahmed al Ahmed?
Many reports claimed the name of this local Australian eyewitness was Ahmed al Ahmed, who was passing by when the shooting began. Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, is a fruit seller. He is the father of two children. In Australia, he wrestled and disarmed one of the attackers. He was unarmed but had the courage to fight off the armed attacker.
In the viral 15-second video, the man was seen hiding behind parked cars and then running towards the gunman from behind. He grabs her by the neck, draws his rifle, and tackles her to the ground before pointing the gun at her.
According to his cousin Mustafa’s statement to 7News, he is currently in the hospital undergoing surgery because he was shot with two guns. “We don’t know exactly what’s going on in the hospital and inside,” Mustafa said. “But he is 100 percent a hero.”
