美国陆军特种部队退伍军人Russell Harrison因11年前挺身救助遭暴力侵害的邻居而获得澳大利亚总督勇敢勋章。1事件发生在一个夏日午后，Harrison听到邻居求救声后冲上前阻止一名男子的攻击。1在随后的搏斗中，Harrison使用自卫手段制服了攻击者Adam Slomczewski。1
然而这次英勇行为随之带来了近两年的调查。1Slomczewski在冲突中因心律不齐身亡，验尸官Sara Hinchey确定死因为"搏斗、颈部受压和安非他命使用背景下的心律不齐"。1警方和验尸官的调查确认，Slomczewski具有抢劫、盗窃和毒品使用历史。1最终Harrison被证实正当防卫。1
澳大利亚总督Sam Mostyn在颁授勋章时表示："他们每一个人都面临危险并选择了行动。"1对于自己的壮举，Harrison表示会再次挺身而出。1
Russell Harrison, a retired United States Army Special Forces member, has received the Governor-General's Bravery Medal following an incident that unfolded eleven years ago in Frankston, Melbourne.1 On a summer afternoon in 2013, Harrison intervened when he heard his neighbour crying for help, moving to stop a man from committing a violent assault.1 During the struggle with the attacker, Harrison employed self-defence measures to subdue him, though the assailant, Adam Slomczewski, subsequently died from irregular heartbeat in the context of neck compression and amphetamine use.1
The incident triggered an extensive investigation that consumed nearly two years of Harrison's life.1 Police and a coroner's examination ultimately established that Harrison had acted in lawful self-defence.1 The coroner, Sara Hinchey, noted that Slomczewski had a history of robbery, theft, and drug use.1 Harrison's neighbour sustained head bruising, black eyes, and finger marks on the throat.1
Governor-General Sam Mostyn recognised Harrison's actions in his formal award, stating: "They each faced danger and chose to act."1 When reflecting on the incident, Harrison responded: "I would do it again in a heartbeat."1
