When an Abbotsford police officer ran out of gas in a residential area, someone in the neighbourhood had his back.

A photo was posted on Aug. 3 in a local Facebook group of a woman filling up an Abbotsford cruiser with a small jerry can. The officer is talking on a cell phone.

鈥淥ops!,鈥� wrote Tara Lee MacLeod. 鈥淗e was very thankful for the gesture. We are all human, we all make mistakes. Choose kindness.鈥�

The post does not identify the officer, the woman doing the good deed, or the neighbourhood this happened in.

While some had a chuckle at the image, others responded with love in the form of heart reactions and supportive comments.

鈥淚t happens to the best of us,鈥� wrote Gary Hanna.
