Michel Talbi, M.B.
Medal of Bravery

On the night of October 4, 2004, Michel Talbi came to the aid of a neighbour who had been stabbed by her husband, in Montréal, Quebec. Awakened by the cries of the victim, Mr. Talbi ran to the woman's apartment, where he found her severely wounded. He began to treat the victim's injuries but was forced to abandon his task to physically restrain the husband from entering the room. After pushing him away, Mr. Talbi continued his care of the victim who, unfortunately, did not survive.
