Seven courageous Otago people were presented with Bravery Awards at this afternoon's investiture ceremony in Dunedin. In May 2021, they intervened to try and stop a knife attack in a Dunedin supermarket, and as a result, several of them suffered severe injuries. Their bravery was recognised with the award of the following Honours: The New Zealand Bravery Star (for an act of outstanding bravery in a situation of danger); the New Zealand Bravery Decoration (for an act of exceptional bravery in a situation of danger; and the New Zealand Bravery Medal (for an act of bravery).
