A New Jersey police officer went above and beyond the call of duty when he purchased shoes for a man in dire need of them.
Officer Kenya Joyner with the Delaware River Port Authority removed the man from a bus at the request of the driver because of a policy requiring that riders wear shoes, a DRPA spokesman said.
When he saw that the man was barefoot, Joyner sprung into action.

“This cop just got this guy a pair of shoes,” said a woman who recorded the nice gesture in a video uploaded on YouTube.
“That was nice of you, I want to shake your hand,” she told Joyner, who humbly handed over the shoes and immediately walked away.
“I’m videoing you, you’re gonna go viral,” the woman said.
