A photo of NYPD officers helping an 85-year-old man left shivering outside the front steps of his Manhattan home has touched the hearts of many.

The elderly man, a wheel-bound Navy veteran, told officers Vitaliy Zelikov and Georin Duran, that a medical transportation employee carried him down the stairs when they picked him up for a doctor’s appointment earlier in the day.
