EAST HAVEN, CT — East Haven Police Department Sgt. Joe Mulhern deserves a massive round of applause for his kind-hearted gesture that put a smile on a local child's face.

Mulhern noticed that a local child would be out with his friends and they all had bikes except for him. Mulhern made sure to fix that problem.

While cruising around town, Sergeant Joe Mulhern noticed that his friend Shawn was always hanging out with his friends, but never had a bike of his own to keep up with them. So Sergeant Mulhern took matters into his own hands.

The Sarge decided to go home and grab a bike from his shed. Our friends at Zane's Cycles were kind enough to tune the bike up free of charge, and as of last night, Shawn was rollin around with his friends! Stay safe out there Shawn and enjoy your new wheels! Thank you Sergeant Mulhern for looking out for East Haven’s youth!
