Good Samaritan Gives Cop a Ride During Pursuit of Suspect

A cop in foot pursuit of a suspect got some help. A good Samaritan gave one of them a lift in his car. It happened in White Settlement, Texas. Police say the two officers responded to reports of a stolen car, but when they tried to make a traffic stop, the suspect ran away. They started to chase him, but one officer fell behind in the pursuit. That’s when a concerned citizen driving by, offered him a ride to catch up. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.

[@DronixPlays]

The fact the driver of the car just leaves not really caring about having any recognition shows that he's just glad he got to help.
