Back in April, the Evening Telegraph reported the brave actions of two West End residents - students Rory Brogan and Joseph Rennucci - who confronted a knife-wielding mugger, in Seafield Lane.
Following the suggestion of residents that the city recognise the selfless behaviour of Joe and Rory, I asked our Lord Provost John Letford if he would be willing to hold a civic event to mark the city's appreciation for the actions of Rory and Joe.
The LP was very supportive and we met Joe and Rory at the Chambers today, where they were each presented with a civic gift.
Both Rory and Joe have come to Dundee to study - Rory from County Donegal and Joe from Glasgow - and, in the words of Sheriff Alistair Duff - their courage and determination helped police take a dangerous offender off the streets.
