    A photo of a New York Police Department officer giving a homeless man a pair of shoes has gone viral. It was taken by a tourist earlier this month in Times Square. Shen sent a copy of it to the NYPD, who then uploaded it to their Facebook page two days ago.

    The officer featured in the image is Larry DePrimo (pictured above). The name of the homeless man is not known at this stage. Along with her snapshot, photographer Jennifer Foster also sent the following note to the NYPD:

    Right when I was about to approach, one of your officers came up behind him. The officer said, ‘I have these size 12 boots for you, they are all-weather. Let’s put them on and take care of you.’ The officer squatted down on the ground and proceeded to put socks and the new boots on this man. The officer expected NOTHING in return and did not know I was watching.

    The touching photo can be seen below. It has since been “liked” more than 472 000 times, and shared over 167 000 times. More than 35 000 people have also left comments.
