Accused Bondi Beach gunman Naveed Akram was charged from his hospital bed with 15 murder counts and terrorism after Sunday’s antisemitic attack.

Australian police charged Naveed Akram with 59 offences, including terrorism, after he allegedly opened fire at a Jewish event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach. 

SYDNEY >> A man who allegedly opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach has been charged with 59 offences, including murder and terrorism, police said on Wednesday. The alleged father-and-son perpetrators opened fire on the celebration at Sydney’s famed Bondi Beach on Sunday, killing 15 in an attack that shook the nation and intensified fears of rising antisemitism and violent extremism.

Australian police have said that early indications point to a terrorist attack inspired by ISIS.

Footage captured by an eyewitness shows a man grappling with an alleged gunman during the Bondi Beach mass shooting in which at least 12 people were killed, before wrestling the weapon off him.

Telangana Police say Bondi Beach shooter Sajid Akram had minimal ties with India and did not return even after his father’s death, highlighting his long separation from family in Hyderabad.
