NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. — Two North Tonawanda teenagers received a special honor Monday night for stepping in to help a stranger who was attacked earlier this month.
Back on July 2 a 14-year-old girl was assaulted by several juveniles at the North Tonawanda High School football field when Anthony Swan and Simon Griskonis stopped them.
On Monday the City of North Tonawanda issued a proclamation for the two boys for doing the right thing.
"When you do something that you would expect others to do, you don't expect any recognition," Swan said.
"It was just the right thing to do. Something that anyone there should have done," Griskonis said.
Two juveniles have been charged with assault in the third degree, according to the North Tonawanda Police Department. Police say two additional juveniles will be charged in the near future. All four will be issued appearance tickets and are scheduled to appear at the probation department.
