In the caption, Herman praised the officers for the “good deed” and thanked the men in blue for going the extra mile.

Another clip shared on the Singapore Incidents Instagram page showed the same two officers pushing the PMA user across a pedestrian junction along Ganges Avenue.

The task appeared to be physically demanding as the male officer was seen leaning his entire body against the mobility device, similar to one’s position during a sled push exercise.

The video cuts off just as the PMA reaches the halfway point of the traffic junction, the exact moment the traffic light turns green.

Police officers sent man home before resuming duties

In response to MS News‘ queries, an SPF spokesperson said the incident took place at about 11.55am on Tuesday (17 Jan).

The officers received a call for assistance at Ganges Avenue and came to the aid of the 70-year-old man.

It turns out that the elderly man was left stranded as his PMA had run out of battery.
