A police woman is being hailed a
hero after she took time out of her day to sit and eat with a homeless man.
Sergeant Erica
Hay bought the homeless man some food and a cup of coffee then went to sit
on the kerb next to him.
What she didn’t
know is that passerby TiAnna Greene was taking pictures of the interaction.
She told Today:
‘What really caught my attention was the fact she then pulled out food for
herself and started to eat with him. She just seemed very, very comfortable.
‘I got my phone
out and started snapping pictures because I was so overjoyed by the
interaction.
Sergeant Hay works for the Ocala Police
Department in Florida. She said: ‘We’re not a large community so I know most
everybody, especially the homeless in the area, but I didn’t know him.
‘He was just
there by himself alone, so I just grabbed food and went back to eat with him.
Nobody wants to eat alone. I like eating with anybody.’
