Video captured on a vehicle’s dashcam showed the moment a man tackled a shooter during a mass shooting in Sydney’s Bondi Beach on Sunday (December 14).

The footage showed the shooter wrestling for a long-barrelled weapon with an older man in a lavender shirt and shorts, before both fell heavily to the ground behind a silver hatchback car. The man in lavender, who is with a woman, gets up with the weapon as the footage moves on.

Reuters was able to locate the footage from bridge, lamp poles and buildings which matched file and satellite images. Reuters was also able to match the apparels worn by the people who attempted to stop the gunmen in corroborating footage. Date of the footage was confirmed from timestamp and authorities report on the shooting.

The attack on Sunday was Australia's worst mass shooting in nearly 30 years, and is being investigated as an act of terrorism targeting the Jewish community.
