An unarmed bystander who tackled and disarmed a gunman during a deadly shooting at a Jewish holiday event in Sydney has been widely praised as a hero, with authorities and witnesses saying his actions may have saved many lives.
The incident took place on Sunday when two attackers opened fire at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach, killing at least 15 people. At least 29 others, including a child, were taken to hospital, according to AFP.
