"Edward Crabtree, a 43-year-old father of two and local fruit shop owner, has been identified as a SAVIOUR after bravely disarming one of the Islamic terrorists at #bondibeach, Australia."
"The police who were there standing together against the attackers, first responders standing together against the attackers, and even a bystander like Ahmed al Ahmed, standing there putting their own lives at risk against those attackers,"
"Last night, his incredible bravery no doubt saved countless lives when he disarmed a terrorist at enormous personal risk. It was an honor to spend time with him just now and to pass on the thanks of people across NSW,"
A mass shooting at Bondi Beach killed at least 16 people during a Hanukkah gathering of about 1,000. Two gunmen opened fire; dramatic footage showed a man in a white T-shirt wrestle and disarm a gunman dressed in black while another attacker on a footbridge shot him. The bystander's actions were widely praised but social media falsely identified him as Edward Crabtree. Officials confirmed his true identity as Ahmed al Ahmed, who is hospitalized and was visited and praised by New South Wales leaders. The misidentification spurred a wave of disinformation.
