Another act of heroism at the Bondi Beach shooting has been found in a video that shows a couple attempting to disarm one of the shooters.

At least 15 people were shot and killed after two gunmen began shooting at a crowd of people that were gathered to celebrate Hanukkah on Bondi Beach, Sydney, on Sunday (December 14).

The two alleged gunmen have been named as 50-year-old Sajid, who died at the scene, and his 24-year-old son, Naveed Akram, who has since awoken from a coma in the hospital, where he is in police custody.

Following the attack, one man, who was later identified as a 43-year-old fruit shop owner, Ahmed al Ahmed, was filmed disarming one of the shooters, with the man sustaining two bullet wounds to his arm.

And recently, another video has shown others fighting back against the gunmen, with a clip of a couple attempting to wrestle a gun from one of the gunmen going viral.

Video footage that spread on Chinese social media, which has now been verified to be accurate by ABC News Australia, showed a man and a woman running towards one of the shooters.

The video is dashcam footage and shows a man in a purple shirt attempting to tackle a man with a gun after he exited his vehicle. After this, a woman rushes to the area while the pair are on the ground.

The dashcam footage also appeared to show the man seem to take the gun from the gunman.

The pair were later identified as Boris Gurman, 69, and Sofia Gurman, 61, with the couple's family stating to the Sydney Morning Herald that they were the first two victims of the shooting.

They said: “We are heartbroken by the sudden and senseless loss of our beloved Boris and Sofia Gurman. They had been married for 34 years, with their 35th wedding anniversary approaching in January. We were looking forward to celebrating Sofia’s 62nd birthday on Wednesday 17th of December."

Their family described retired mechanic Boris as being 'known for his generosity, quiet strength and willingness to lend a hand to anyone in need', while Sofia, who'd worked at the Australia Post, was 'deeply loved by her colleagues and community', adding that their deaths have left an ‘immeasurable void.’

The statement continued: “In recent days, we have become aware of footage showing Boris, with Sofia by his side, courageously attempting to disarm an attacker in an effort to protect others.

“While nothing can lessen the pain of losing Boris and Sofia, we feel an overwhelming sense of pride in their bravery and selflessness. This encapsulates who Boris and Sofia were – people who instinctively and selflessly tried to help others.

“We are deeply grateful for the love, compassion and support that has been shown to our family during this unimaginable time. From here, we kindly ask for privacy as we grieve.”

According to The Guardian, separate footage from a drone appeared to show the couple lying together on the pavement, with the Sydney Morning Herald reporting that they'd died in each other's arms.
