Some heroes are more flawed than others, but none are perfect. That’s ok — he stepped forward when it mattered, and willingly risked all to do the right thing. [IsraelTimes] The Sydney man credited with saving dozens of lives during December’s deadly mass shooting on a Hanukkah gathering on Bondi Beach has been charged with assaulting his father in March this year, local media and police say.Ahmed al Ahmed was widely praised as a hero for wresting a gun from one of the attackers during the antisemitic assault, in which 15 people were killed. Local media including national broadcaster ABC said Ahmed, 44, had been charged after allegedly assaulting his father. Asked to confirm the reporting, New South Wales police tell AFP: “On Sunday 15 March 2026 police received a report of an alleged assault at a home in Bankstown on Monday 9 March 2026.” They add that a 44-year-old man had then been charged this week with assault and stalking. He will face court on June 29, police say. Australian police as a rule do not identify individuals charged with crimes to the media. Ahmed, who was shot during the Bondi Beach attack, tells ABC that the alleged incident was “fake information… it’s not true at all.” “I don’t have any information at all,” he is quoted as saying.
