An Uber driver has described narrowly escaping death during the Bondi Beach terror attack after locking eyes with one of the alleged gunmen and feeling a bullet pass through his hair.
Peter Polyzoidis, 56, told The Daily Telegraph he was about 40 metres from the attackers when he was fired upon near the Bondi Beach overpass.
“The guy sees me and he shot at me… The bullet whizzed right through my hair,” he said, adding: “As I felt it I thought ‘I don’t want to die today’.”
After throwing himself to the ground, Mr Polyzoidis fled the area as chaos unfolded around him.
He later said the experience left him traumatised, struggling with sleeplessness and flashbacks, but he has since returned to driving and vowed not to live in fear.
“I am not going to sit here and live in fear because of these terrorists. That’s what they want,” he said.
