In newly released dashcam footage, a heroic older couple is seen tackling one of the Sydney terrorists with their bare hands in the moments before the massacre began.

The Gurman couple, H’yd, residents of Bondi, were walking along the boulevard when they spotted Sajid Akram, 50, emerging from behind the ISIS flag on his car.

The husband, Boris, 69, didn’t hesitate and immediately tackled him and succeeded in disarming him, as other passersby hid behind a bus stop. Boris then grabbed the rifle and aimed it at Akram. But meanwhile, Akram grabbed another rifle and charged at Boris, executing him and his wife, Sofia, 61, H’yd, at close range.

The deadly confrontation took place right before the terrorists began their shooting spree.

The Gurmans are a Jewish couple who immigrated to Australia from Russia. They are survived by a son in his 30s.
