When NYPD officers spotted an 85-year-old man shivering outside the front steps of his Manhattan home in the middle of January, they immediately pulled over.
The elderly man told officers Vitaliy Zelikov and Georin Duran that a staff member for a medical transportation service carried him down the stairs when they picked him up for a doctor’s appointment earlier in the day. But he had to take a taxi home by himself.
He asked the cab driver for help, but the man said, “That’s not my job,” and drove off.
“Once we knew he needed to get inside the house, you know, that was the only way we could get him up,” Zelikov told Fox News. “We could carry him up safely, so we did.”
The 85-year-old told the cops he was a Navy veteran who served during the Korean War. He reminisced about the “olden days” when he volunteered for the NYPD in the early 1980s.
