One of the police officers seriously injured in last week’s terror attack at Bondi Beach has woken from a medically induced coma, while the other has left hospital and returned home in time for Christmas.
Constable Scott Dyson was one of two police officers left in a critical condition after he was shot while confronting the two gunmen who opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah celebration on Sunday, December 14.
Scott had been in a medically induced coma since the event and has undergone surgery almost daily.

His family said in a statement today Dyson has been “getting stronger each day”.
“Today, he was woken up for the first time,” the family said.
“There is still a long way to go in his recovery but this is a positive sign.

“We would like to thank the public for the support, messages and well wishes shown to Scott and our family during this difficult time.
“We are also grateful for the tireless work of his medical team.
“Our focus remains on Scott’s continued recovery and we kindly ask for our family’s privacy to be respected.”
Dyson’s colleague, Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert, lost sight in one eye after he was shot last week.
The 22-year-old will recover from home after being discharged from hospital today and will need “space, support and continued positive thoughts”, his family said in a statement.

“As a family, we couldn’t ask for anything more, having our Jack home, especially for Christmas, truly feels like a miracle,” the family said.
“We are deeply grateful for the overwhelming support, kind messages, and well wishes from the community, Jack’s colleagues, friends and the emergency services.
“The care and dedication shown by the medical staff has been nothing short of exceptional.
“We kindly ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we focus on Jack’s recovery and spend this special time together.
“Thank you again for the compassion, love, and support shown to our family.
“Jacko you’ve shown strength of a different degree, we are so glad you’re home buddy.”
NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said last week the NSW Police Force would rally around Hibbert and “find appropriate duties for him” after his recovery.
