In a note to Pittsburgh Police Chief Scott Schubert, a grateful family member explained that the woman was coming home from work at 3 a.m. and was six blocks away when her vehicle became stuck.

“This officer walked to my mom and walked her the remaining six blocks to her house even carrying her purse.”
