Turns out the boys in blue can fix bikes, too.
At least one of them anyway. A bystander in Shelton, Connecticut, snapped a photo of an officer from the Ansonia Police Department fixing a boy’s bike. It proceeded to go viral:
After Faith Taylor’s picture took off online, the officer, identified as Michael Castillo, told Connecticut news station WTNH the backstory, which started as a call to break up a fight at Target.
“I said, ‘Hey, are you guys fighting?’ They said, ‘No we’re friends,’” Castillo said. “Then I saw one of the bikes was broken, and the kid said, ‘My bike is broken,’ so I just got down and fixed it.”
The 27-year-old officer doesn’t have a Facebook account and wasn’t aware someone had taken a picture of the encounter until it went viral.
“I just saw the kids, they needed some help, I helped the kids,” he told ABC News.
