STORY: Australian police said on Sunday (December 14) two people were in custody after reports of gunshots and injuries at Sydney's Bondi Beach.

"The police operation is ongoing and we continue to urge people to avoid the area," New South Wales police state in a post on X.

Television networks ABC aired footage showing what appears to be a firearm on the ground and police attending to people at the scene.

Videos circulating on X appeared to show people on Bondi Beach scattering as multiple gunshots and police sirens can be heard. Reuters could not immediately verify the footage.

"We are aware of an active security situation in Bondi. We urge people in the vicinity to follow information from NSW Police," said a spokesperson for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
