At least 12 people have been killed at Bondi Beach in Sydney after two gunmen of Middle Eastern appearance opened fire at crowds gathered for a Chanukah by the Sea event.

The black-clad gunmen, one armed with a shotgun, one with a rifle, started shooting at about 6.30pm on Sunday evening as hundreds gathered for the Jewish festival, and witnesses reported hearing more than 50 shots.

At 9pm NSW Police confirmed 10 people were dead, including one of the gunmen, with the other shooter in a critical condition. 11 other people are injured, including two police officers, and Premier Chris Minns later said the death toll had risen to 12.

A senior law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told ABC News one of the gunmen was named Naveed Akram, and that police were raiding his home in Bonnyrigg, western Sydney.

The men could be seen firing guns into the crowd as people screamed and sprinted for cover.

A number of people could be seen lying injured and unmoving on the grass at North Bondi.

Others were being loaded into ambulances on stretches while onlookers attempted to provide support.

There are reports of multiple casualties, but no details have been confirmed by authorities.

Video obtained by the Daily Mail shows a heroic man creeping up behind one of the gunmen via the carpark at the north end of the beach, and then wrestling him to the ground.

The hero then waves a rifle in the man's face.

The gunman then walks away and the hero drops the rifle.

At this point, the first gunman is seen joining his accomplice on the bridge, where he picks up another rifle. The pair take cover behind the bridge wall and fire their weapons outward.

Two members of the public, including the man who initially tackled the shooter, attempt to take cover behind a tree. The bystander who disarmed the gunman is later seen with a visible injury to his arm. He walks away holding it before collapsing.
