KIDDUSH HASHEM! An #NYPD officer stopped to help an Orthodox Jewish man with his flat tire on the #Manhattan Bridge. The officer was extremely helpful, he even got down on the floor. The cop said, “you know why I got down to help you? Because when I once got stuck in the snow, only the Jews stopped to help me. I made a promise that I would always help you guys”. @nypd
