CCTV has been released showing a member of the public disarming a gunman in California - just minutes after he fatally shot 11 people at a nearby Chinese New Year celebration.

Brandon Tsay, 26, has been hailed as a hero for disarming Huu Can Tran at the Lai Lai Ballroom in Alhambra.

In the footage, Mr Tsay can be seen confronting the gunman in what appears to be an empty lobby in the dance hall.

An armed man, dressed in dark clothing and a hat, walks out of the picture and about 30 seconds later is seen struggling with Mr Tsay.

He manages to take the gun away from the attacker who then punches him in the head.

The men continue to struggle before Mr Tsay pushes Tran off him - leaving the assailant with no option but to escape.
