Ahmed Al-Ahmed, praised for disarming a gunman during the Bondi Beach attack, is recovering in hospital after suffering five gunshot wounds and multiple surgeries. His former migration lawyer, Sam Issa, said the 43-year-old remains in critical condition, with possible nerve damage and no feeling in his arm.
Despite the severe injuries, Al-Ahmed says he has no regrets and would act the same way again. Footage showed him tackling shooter Sajid Akram and taking away his weapon before being shot by a second attacker. He is being treated at St George Hospital, while public support has surged, with over $1.2 million raised in donations, including a major contribution from Bill Ackman
