The 43-year-old father of two, who runs a fruit shop in Sydney, has been widely praised for his bravery. A fundraiser for Ahmed has already raised over $1,3 million, with billionaire Jewish investor Bill Ackman contributing $99,000.

The GoFundMe page set up “to show our gratitude and support” reads:
“After witnessing the extraordinary actions of the hero who helped disarm one of the attackers during the Bondi tragedy, an act that prevented the loss of countless more lives, we felt compelled to act.
