A man in a purple shirt rushes along the sidewalk, throws himself headfirst over the shooter, and tackles the gun out of his hands. Hot on his heels comes a woman running.
The video, which is only a few seconds long, is filmed from inside a car driving by and the couple is now being hailed in Australian media as the "hero couple".
"I saw him jump on (the man who shot) and the father fell backwards. My husband saw him take the gun from him. I want Australia to know that he was a hero," the woman who captured the incident on film told ABC News .
Family: Overwhelming pride
The heroic couple has been identified by their family as Boris Gurman, 69, and Sofia Gurman, 61. They were both shot dead in the attack.
"While nothing can lessen the pain of losing Boris and Sofia, we feel an overwhelming sense of pride in their courage and selflessness. It frames who Boris and Sofia were – people who instinctively and selflessly helped others," the family wrote in a statement, according to ABC .
"Bondi hero" Ahmed al-Ahmed has been widely praised since a video of him pouncing on one of the shooters and wresting a gun from his hands went viral. Millions of kronor have been raised for al-Ahmed, who himself was shot.
“Killed in cold blood”
Later in the same video, another man is seen rushing forward and throwing a paving stone at the shooter, while shots are heard from the other perpetrator standing further away. The stone thrower is Reuven Morrison, a man in his 60s, his daughter told ABC . He was shot dead seconds later.
"My father was killed in cold blood. Shot. Because he was Jewish," says daughter Sheina Gutnick.
Reuven Morrison came to Australia from the former Soviet Union as a teenager in the 1970s.
According to the daughter, a woman with her baby was able to get to safety thanks to Morrison standing between them and the shooter.
"He didn't bend. He didn't hide. He acted immediately, he fought," she says.
