Footage captured by an eyewitness showed a man grappling with an alleged gunman, before wrestling the weapon off him at Australia's Bondi Beach.
Eleven people have been killed in a shooting targeting the Jewish community, with 29 taken to hospital, New South Wales Police said.
One gunman has also been killed, and a second suspect is in critical condition, they added.
Following today's attack on Sydney, the Met Police acknowledges that Jewish communities in London will be feeling "heightened concern about safety" - particularly as they come together to celebrate Hannukah.
Police say there is "no information to suggest any link" between today's attack and the threat level in London but confirm in a statement that they are "stepping up our police presence, carrying out additional community patrols and engaging with the Jewish community".
One of the gunmen was identified as 24-year-old Naveed Akram. He is from Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s south-west.
The other gunman was killed at the scene. He has been identified as Khaled Al-Nablusi.
