Naveed Akram, the 24-year-old allegedly involved in the Dec. 14 terror attack targeting a Jewish crowd has been formally charged by police after waking from his coma.

Naveed, along with his 50-year-old father, Sajid Akram, were responsible for one of the worst attacks to target the Jewish community after Oct. 7, 2023, and the worst mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur Massacre.
