Australian police dropped assault charges on Wednesday against a man lauded for his bravery during last year's mass shooting at Bondi Beach.

Change text size:

Fruit seller Ahmed al Ahmed was hailed as a hero after footage showed him disarming a gunman during the December 14 attack, which killed 15 people at a Jewish festival.

Ahmed was earlier this year accused of stalking and assaulting his father, charges he denied.

Both charges were withdrawn after a brief hearing on Wednesday, court documents showed.

Ahmed ducked between parked cars as the Bondi shooting unfolded, grabbing one of the two gunmen and wresting away his weapon in an effort to stop the killing.

He sustained gunshot wounds in the attack.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese would later meet Ahmed in person, describing him as a "true Australian hero" and an inspiration to all.
