NBC New York – A tourist’s snapshot of an NYPD officer giving new boots to a barefoot homeless man in Times Square has become an online sensation.
Jennifer Foster, a tourist from Florence, Ariz., took a cellphone picture of Officer Larry DePrimo giving the man the all-weather boots and socks on a frigid night in Times Square on Nov. 14.
The image was posted on the NYPD’s Facebook page and became an instant hit. More than 325,000 users “liked” his generosity as of Thursday morning.
DePrimo, 25, told The New York Times that it was freezing that night and he could see blisters on the man’s feet.
