He's faced danger and saved many lives on the beach, but nothing prepared lovable Bondi Rescue star Andrew "Reidy" Reid for the carnage he witnessed when he went to buy his kids a bunk bed.
"I had a pretty good cry this morning," he tells Woman's Day, just two days after the Westfield Bondi Junction massacre that left six people dead, including his "beautiful" friend and running partner, Ashlee Good, 38.
Reidy, 44, was caught up in the attack after driving to Westfield to shop for a bunk bed for his two daughters and son, aged three to five years old, only to soon discover that a knifeman was on the loose.
And when he heard shots and saw bloodied bodies scattered on the floor of the shopping centre, this brave dad didn't hesitate. "I could see a woman bleeding really badly and I thought I've just got to get down there and help," says Reidy, who was safe, locked behind shuttered roller doors in Myer, before he insisted a security guard let him out so he could help the victims.
