Four skateboarders from Calgary are being recognized for their courage after stepping in during a late-night situation where a young woman appeared to be in danger. The group later received a Chief’s Award for Bravery from the Calgary Police Service for their quick thinking and selfless actions.

The incident happened when Kyle Tenove, Warren Churchill, Clay Stein, and Josh Hunter were skating downtown and noticed a distressed young woman walking alone while a man nearby seemed to be harassing her. As they watched more closely, they became concerned that the situation could escalate, and they chose to intervene rather than ignore it.

The teens approached the man and positioned themselves between him and the woman, effectively disrupting the situation and forcing him to leave the area. They then stayed with the woman, making sure she was safe and supported until police arrived to take over and assist her further.

Police later praised the group for acting without hesitation and showing maturity beyond their years. A year after the incident, they were formally honored with the Chief’s Award for Bravery, highlighting the importance of bystander intervention and reminding the public that stepping in at the right moment can make a real difference.
