Newly released dashcam footage captures the heroic actions of Boris, 69, and Sofia Gurman, 61, during Sunday’s Bondi Beach attack that killed 16 people, including one of the alleged attackers.
Footage shows Boris Gurman wrestling a suspect to the ground and briefly disarming him, while his wife Sofia tried to intervene. Both were later fatally shot, becoming the first victims of the Bondi Beach attack.
Local fruit shop owner Ahmed al Ahmed also tackled and disarmed an armed suspect during the rampage. He was shot multiple times but survived and has since undergone surgery.
Police have identified the gunmen as Sajid Akram, 50, and his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram, who are believed to have been motivated by Islamic State ideology. Sajid was killed at the scene, while Naveed remains in a critical condition. Investigators recovered IS flags and improvised explosive devices from the attackers’ vehicle.
The assault occurred during a Hanukkah celebration, specifically targeting Sydney’s Jewish community. Victims ranged in age from 10 to 87, including a Holocaust survivor, a rabbi, and a retired police officer. Twenty-five survivors remain in hospital, nine of them in a critical condition.
Authorities are treating the incident as a terrorist act and are investigating the suspects’ recent trip to the Philippines, which may have included militant-style training, although this has not been confirmed.
