Driver: County Cop 'Hero' for Helping Blind Pedestrian

When a blind man was crossing a busy Montgomery County intersection as traffic flew past him, a driver worried that he would be injured, until a police officer blocked traffic to ensure the pedestrian crossed safely.

The worried driver, who praised the officer’s action, snapped a photo of the assistance in action.

The police department shared the shoutout on its Twitter feed, which shows the Montgomery County officer can be seen helping the blind man at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Connecticut Avenue in Aspen Hill.

The passerby credits the unidentified officer as a real-life hero who stopped traffic at the intersection, then got out of his patrol car to escort the man across the street.
