Michael Braden Walker, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On December 24, 2007, Braden Walker came to the aid of a man who had been stabbed while travelling on a bus, near Madoc, Ontario. Sitting a few seats ahead of Mr. Walker and the would-be victim, the attacker was bothersome to nearby passengers. As the bus approached its scheduled stop, the attacker walked towards his target and stabbed him. Mr. Walker immediately grabbed the attacker's hand and forcibly removed the knife. He kept the struggling attacker in a headlock and walked him to the front of the bus while others helped care for the victim until the ambulance and police arrived.
