A security guard who was stabbed in the stomach after bravely confronting crazed knifeman Joel Cauchi has asked why he has not been offered citizenship like 'Bollard Man'.
Muhammad Taha, who is originally from Pakistan, was patrolling the fourth floor of Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday afternoon when Cauchi began stabbing strangers at random.
Mr Taha and his new colleague, Faraz Tahir, raced over to confront Cauchi, unaware he had was wielding a 30cm hunting blade.
Mr Tahir, 30, who was on his first shift in the shopping centre, was stabbed to death, becoming Cauchi's only male victim of the six people tragically killed.
Meanwhile, Mr Taha was knifed in the stomach but managed to radio other security staff for help - becoming one of the first people to raise the alarm.
