Indian Driver's Heroic Stand Amidst Bondi Beach Terror Chaos: 'People Were Bleeding'

  • Rahemath Pasha, a Hyderabad cab driver, witnessed a terror attack at Sydney's Bondi Beach, where two gunmen killed 15 and injured dozens during a Hanukkah event.
  • Initially mistaking gunfire for fireworks, Rahemath stayed back despite terror, helping an elderly woman shot in the leg who refused to let go for 45 minutes.
  • He assisted over a dozen people, guiding the injured, comforting the shocked, and aiding police/paramedics, even holding a dying man.
  • The attack, Australia's deadliest mass shooting since 1996, was declared an "act of terror" and shocked a nation with strict gun laws.
  • Rahemath, who moved to Australia in 2019, emphasized "humanity first" and would act the same way again, despite being haunted by the events.

Why It Matters: Amidst terror, an Indian driver's selfless courage saved lives and embodied humanity at Bondi Beach.
