Unarmed man who tackled Bondi Beach Hanukkah attacker identified as Ahmed al-Ahmed

JL;DR SUMMARY Ahmed al-Ahmed, a fruit stand operator in Sydney, emerged as a hero by tackling one of the gunmen during the tragic Hanukkah attack at Bondi Beach.

Now, Dude, that's a name no one would self-apply where I come from. But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
