Summary
Ahmed al Ahmed, 44, was charged with domestic violence common assault, stalking and intimidation over an alleged March attack on his father, and is due in Sydney's Bankstown Local Court on June 29.
Al Ahmed denied the allegations to ABC, saying they were "not true at all," after Australian media reported the case.
The charges involve a man celebrated for disarming one of the alleged gunmen in the December Bondi Beach shooting, where 15 people were killed and dozens injured at a Jewish event.
That attack was declared terrorism targeting the Jewish community, and al Ahmed — shot several times during his intervention — later received a hospital visit from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as supporters raised more than A$2.5 million for him.
