Frenchman Who Stopped Sydney Attacker Offered Australian Citizenship

Damien Guerot, known as 'Bollard Man,' has been offered citizenship by Australia's PM after heroically confronting a knife-wielding attacker in Sydney.

Damien Guerot, a French construction worker, used a bollard to thwart a knife attack in a Sydney mall, resulting in the offer of Australian citizenship.
Australian PM Anthony Albanese praised Guerot's bravery, suggesting he could stay in Australia 'as long as he likes' and potentially become a citizen.
The attack, which occurred on April 13, resulted in six fatalities and multiple injuries but was not classified as a terrorist incident.
Guerot, whose visa was due to expire, has been widely celebrated in Australia, with public support for his permanent residency.
The attacker, Joel Cauchi, had a history of mental illness and targeted women during the rampage.
