Bondi terror attack hero Ahmed Al Ahmed has revealed what he said to one of the alleged gunmen after disarming him.

Visiting Bondi for the first time since the tragic incident that claimed the lives of 15 innocent people, Al Ahmed recounted to 60 Minutes the critical moment he chose to intervene.

As shots were fired into Archer Park, video showed Al Ahmed creeping up behind one of the alleged gunmen, tackling him, taking his gun off him and pushing him to the ground.

“I remember everything,” he shared with 60 Minutes. “I was yelling and cursing, just the Aussie way.”

He said he was motivated by his love for Australia, and said he was acting on a moment of instinct to try and stop the terror.

Reflecting on his decision, he said, “I’d give my blood and heart for Australia. I saw what was happening and thought, ‘do it.'”

Al Ahmed also detailed the words he directed at the suspected gunman.

“I shouted, ‘motherf—er!'” Al Ahmed recalled.

Al Ahmed was wounded and underwent surgery on his arm and hand, and he still wears a sling. Sajid Akram was shot dead by police, whilst his son Naveed, who is accused of also carrying out the shooting, was wounded.

During his return to Bondi Beach, the site of the horrific attack, numerous members of the public approached him, expressing their heartfelt thanks and appreciation for his bravery.
