Extraordinary video has emerged from the Bondi Beach terror attack showing a hero creeping up behind one of the gunmen and successfully wrestling his rifle off him.

Twelve people are dead after two gunmen opened fire at Bondi Beach on Sunday evening where a Jewish Hannukah celebration was underway.

Video obtained by the Daily Mail shows a heroic man creeping up behind one of the gunmen via the carpark at the north end of the beach, and then wrestling him to the ground.

The hero then waves a rifle in the man's face.

The gunman then walks away and the hero drops the rifle.

The hero (white shirt) sneaked up behind the shooter and managed to wrestle the rifle off him.

Nice to know that there's still at least one real man left in Australia.

His balls must be the size of a can of Foster’s.

Yet because he would have been arrested he let the shooter leave only for the shooter to go to the bridge and shoot at more people.

That gunman is lucky. If it had been me I would have eliminated the threat. I wouldn’t know if had a handgun or bomb.

Sounds like the hero knows which side the government's on.

That dude deserves a medal of valour... He saved lives and single handedly took it upon himself to disarm this creep... Add to that... He didn’t immediately shoot him... That would’ve been the first reaction of most people, but he held back on what must have been his first thought.

Sadly... He probably should’ve killed... Because now this creep will live out the next 5 or 10 years of his life in an Australian prison and then be released.

In response, the Aussie govt will confiscate all firearms in the country.

“With a flaw...he didn’t shoot the bastard.”

Knowing what I know about the Australian government.....if the hero would have shot that animal, HE would have been tried for murder.

Hero is a very brave individual. Maybe he lacked the needed firearm training. We in the west must dump governments that are not on the side of we the people.

We should not be vulnerable to false claims of racism.

Maybe in Australia but for sure in New York...even if you don’t shoot. The fillth would charge you with illegal weapons possession or some such rot.

Having some of the most strict gun laws in the world, Australia has for the most part already done that.....effectively turning the whole damn country into a gun free zone.

So the shots I’m hearing after this guy was taken down was the other shooter still going at it I assume? Or is the sound delayed?

Yes, those shots were those of the other gunman but he was taken out by police quite soon after.
