SPRINGVALE South boy Simon Bui Tran was officially recognised with a Bravery Medal in a ceremony at Government House last week.
Simon was just six years old when he was stabbed repeatedly as he protected his mother Tran Thi Thu from an intruder in their family home in April 2003.
Simon sustained extensive injuries to his left wrist and arm when he ran at the man who was stabbing his mother, Thu Thi Tran.
He then helped his mother to the phone to ring an ambulance before they ran to a neighbour’s house for help.
Simon, now 8, was one of 16 people who were recognised for their courage last Wednesday by Victorian Governor John Landy.
