ROELAND PARK, Kan. (AP) — Touched by the plight of a homeless man forced to several hours a day to his job, a Kansas police officer stepped up with a gesture that brought the man to tears.

Roeland Park officer Zack Stamper says he was just doing his job last week when he gave Samuel Meixueiro a bicycle to ride to and from the man’s work as a liquor store cashier.

Stamper threw in a duffel bag that replaced the man’s suitcase with a broken zipper.

The kindness drew tears from Meixueiro, who says he’s been staying in a church while trying to save money for an apartment.

Stamper’s gesture came after he first met Meixueiro in a park while responding to a report of a suspicious person.
