Sometimes there is a cop around when you really need one

A pleasing glimpse of Toronto life is seen in City News video as a cop let’s a woman climb aboard for a piggyback Friday across a flooded gutter caused by a watermain break. It was on Sherbourne St. that the police officer noticed the woman wearing flip flops as she dithered about leaping over the water. There is an “awww” from someone as the cop sees his duty. Another pedestrian helps out by retrieving a lost flip-flop.
