Bondi hero Ahmed Al Ahmed has been charged with assault after allegedly attacking his father.
In a statement, NSW Police said officers received a report of an alleged assault at a home in Bankstown on March 9.
“Officers from Bankstown Police Area Command commenced an investigation,” police said.
Ahmed Al Ahmed has been charged with common assault, with police alleging he attacked his father at a home in Bankstown on March 9.
“On Wednesday (June 3), a 44-year-old man was served with a Court Attendance Notice for common assault (DV) and stalk/intimidate intend fear physical etc harm (domestic).
7News reports the assault charge relates to allegations he put his father in a headlock.
An apprehended violence order (AVO) has been taken out on his behalf and he is asked to stay 100m away from his father’s place of residence and work.
Ahmed will face Bankstown Local Court on July 29.
The charges against Mr Al Ahmed come days after his two younger brothers faced court.
Earlier in May, his brothers Hozifah and Sameh Al Ahmed faced court after being charged with allegedly using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend their older sibling.
NSW Police alleged the two younger brothers called Mr Al Ahmed and demanded $100,000 each from him.
The brothers have pleaded not guilty to all charges laid against them.
They were granted bail and are due to face court on June 8.
Mr Al Ahmed was dubbed the “Bondi hero” after wrestling a weapon from gunman Sajid Akram during the December shooting which left 15 dead.
In a video that went viral, he was seen grabbing the gun out of the attacker’s hands.
Mr Al Ahmed was later shot multiple times and hospitalised in a critical condition.
Sajid Akram was later shot dead by police while his son Naveed was injured and taken into custody.
He is now facing dozens of charges – including 15 counts of murder and 40 counts of attempted murder.
Mr Al Ahmed had five bullet wounds in his shoulder and spent two weeks recovering and undergoing several operations at hospital.
A fundraiser launched immediately after the attack, raised $2.6m for his support and recovery which he received when he was still in the hospital.
Mr Al Ahmed owned a tobacco store in Sutherland that remained closed for sometime after the Bondi attack, before he sold the business in March.
After weeks-long stay in hospital, Mr Al-Ahmed was given an extraordinary reception at multiple events including at the Ashes Test and a charity gala dinner in New York, and even receiving the keys to the Canterbury-Bankstown council.
He received the first ever keys to the city and was named Canterbury bankstown Local Hero for 2026.
“Mr Al Ahmed’s decision to put himself in harm’s way saved lives on one of the darkest days in our nation’s history and his belief in humanity against hate inspires us all,” the council’s mayor Bilal El-Hayek had said.
