A French man, Damien Guerot, has been identified as the viral "Bollard Man" hero who tried to stop the killer during his stabbing spree on Saturday.

Mr Guerot went face-to-face with Joel Cauchi, who wounded shoppers at a Sydney shopping centre. Police have since said he was targeting women.

Armed with a long knife, Cauchi killed six people and injured 12 others before he was shot dead by a police officer.
