Police Officers Surprise an Autistic Man With Birthday Celebration After He Calls 911
Reported byMy Modern Met ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Boston police officers Israel Bracho and Franklin Ortiz responded to a 911 call from 25-year-old autistic man Chris, who called just after midnight to ask someone to wish him a happy birthday. Rather than dismiss the call, the officers stopped to buy a cupcake and candles, arrived at his home, sang 'Happy Birthday,' and made his evening special.
The video surfaced in May 2024 and has recently resurfaced online; the incident itself occurred before that date.
