A new video surfaced on X captures police moving in to subdue the Bondi Beach attacker and neutralise both suspects. The footage shows one shooter being shot by officers, while the second gives himself up moments later.
The newly surfaced footage from the deadly Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney shows the dramatic moment a civilian tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen before police could fully intervene, mirroring tense visuals seen in other major police standoff videos.
The video, shot from a nearby vantage point, captures a chaotic scene as gunfire rings out and panicked crowds flee. Amid the confusion, the previously viral video showed that a man in civilian clothes is seen taking cover behind a parked car as the shooter fires his weapon. Within seconds, the bystander rushes forward, tackles the armed attacker from behind and wrestles the firearm away. At one point, he is shown flipping the gun back toward the disarmed gunman as sirens and distant rings in the background.
In this moment, the police were quick to enter the scene, with additional footage showing officers engaging both attackers and eventually neutralising the immediate threat. The footage highlights the rapid response and danger faced by law enforcement as they worked to secure the area and protect the public.

During the investigation, authorities found improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in a vehicle linked to the attackers, raising concerns about the broader scope of the incident and potential threats. Police also conducted coordinated raids across Sydney, including at the home of suspect Naveed Akram in Bonnyrigg, as they probe how the suspects obtained high-powered weapons and whether others were involved.
The shooting, which occurred during a crowded event on Bondi Beach, has prompted a large-scale response from law enforcement and police departments, with officials continuing to piece together the motives and sequence of events.
