The Bondi Beach terror attack hero has been charged with assault and stalking months after he was declared \u2018Australia\u2019s hero\u2019 for grabbing one among the gunmen stoning up a Jewish festival.<\/p>\n

Ahmed al Ahmed crept up on one among the 2 shooters, unleashing terror on the Hanukkah event on Sydney\u2019s famous beach in December.<\/p>\n

Much more lives would have been lost if Mr al Ahmed had not tackled and disarmed one among the assailants, officials said on the time.<\/p>\n

The 44-year-old is now accused of attacking his elderly father at his home in March.<\/p>\n

An\u00a0Apprehended Violence Order (AVO) taken out against Ahmed by police on behalf of his father stated Ahmed cannot\u00a0\u2018assault\u2019, \u2018stalk\u2019, \u2018harass\u2019, or \u2018contact\u2019 his dad.<\/p>\n

He was told to remain 100 metres away from his home and workplace before his court date on July 29.<\/p>\n

It got here after his two brothers allegedly demanded $100,000 each from Mr al Ahmed\u2019s crowdfunder which raised greater than $2.5 million (\u00a31.24m) from people everywhere in the globe.<\/p>\n

Ahmed\u2019s two brothers were later charged for allegedly threatening Ahmed over the phone. They’ve each pleaded not guilty.<\/p>\n

The family declined to comment on Ahmed\u2019s\u00a0charges and AVO when contacted by 7News.<\/p>\n

Al Ahmed won global adulation after he was seen surprising and wrestling a rifle away from one among the shooters. The fruit seller, who had never fired a gun before, then aimed the weapon back on the gunman, forcing him to retreat. <\/p>\n

A second bystander, Reuven Morrison, then stepped in and threw a brick on the gunman, while Mr al Ahmed, who had not fired the weapon, rested it against a close-by tree. <\/p>\n

That gunman, Sajid Akram, was eventually shot dead by police.<\/p>\n

Mr Ahmed was later shot several times by the opposite gunman, allegedly Sajid\u2019s son Naveed Akram, and underwent a minimum of three operations on his arm.<\/p>\n

His father, Mohamad Fateh Al Ahmed, had praised his son\u2019s bravery as he recovered in hospital.<\/p>\n

He told reporters his son was a humble grocery shop owner who had migrated to Australia in 2006.<\/p>\n

\u2018He had lunch and left the home and his friend asked him to get coffee\u2026 after they arrived they were confronted with gunmen shooting.<\/p>\n

\u2018Their lives were at risk and he noticed one person not removed from him hiding behind a tree\u00a0with a weapon.<\/p>\n

\u2018My son is a hero, he has served with the police, and he has an impulse to guard people.<\/p>\n

\u2018When he saw those people on the bottom covered in blood his morals made him act.\u2019<\/p>\n
