Fences star Denzel Washington came to the aid of a man in distress.
Denzel would go on to place himself in between the man and several police officers who began surrounding the man.
In watching a video of the situation, he can also be seen comforting the man by placing his hand on the man’s shoulder and standing by him throughout the interaction with the police.
In other clips posted online, Mr. Washington can be seen holding a pack of face masks as officers put the man’s hands behind his back.
The officer added that Washington put extra masks in the man’s pockets and that the actor is a “very good Samaritan.”
