Two of Bondi Beach Massacre hero Ahmed Al Ahmed's brothers were charged with threatening communications, according to the New South Wales Police, with local media reporting that they sought to extort him for money.

The 33-year-old and 35-year-old men were arrested last Monday and charged for using a carriage service to menace/harass/offend, said NSW police, and appeared at the Bankstown Local Court on Wednesday.

9News reported that Hozifa and Sameh Al Ahmed tried to extort $200,000 from their brother, who was wounded after disarming one of the terrorists during the December attack on a Hanukkah event that claimed the lives of 15 people.

'Give us $100,000 each'

"I will put your head under my boot, break your other arm, and smash your face. We will only leave if you give us $100,000 each," Hozifa allegedly said on May 7, according to 9News.

A GoFundMe fundraiser for the 44-year-old raised over AUD $2.6 million dollars to support him after he was hospitalized.
