National Hero: Security Guard Dies Protecting Bondi Junction Shoppers

Tahir, a 30-year-old refugee from Pakistan, was a security guard working his first day shift when a man named Joel Cauchi began a mass stabbing rampage at the Bondi Junction shopping center on April 13. Tahir, who had fled persecution in his home country, was the only male victim to die in the attack. His family described him as a kind and protective man who had come to Australia seeking a better life. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns were invited to his funeral, a testament to his national impact.
