Police officer gives doctor medical masks instead of speeding ticket

A Minnesota state trooper moved a doctor to tears when he sent her off with medical masks instead of a speeding ticket.

Dr. Sarosh Ashraf Janjua, a cardiologist helping with coronavirus relief efforts in Minnesota, .

Was driving to the hospital on March 21 when she was pulled over for speeding.

Upon seeing her license, the officer — Brian J.

Schwartz — asked what she was doing all the way out in Minnesota.

She explained that she was there for work.

“He went back to his patrol car to look up my license, and when he returned, quite firmly told me it was very irresponsible of me to be speeding,".

"especially since I would not only take up resources if I got into an accident, but would also not be in a position to help patients” .

Janjua fully expected to receive a ticket.

However, instead of giving her a ticket, the officer let her off with a warning — and a gift.

"Five N95 masks, from the supply the state had given him for his protection,” she wrote.

“This complete stranger, who owed me nothing and is more on the front lines than I am, shared his precious masks with me, without my even asking".

Heartwarming acts of kindness like this is a reminder that when people work together, anything is possible
