Since being shared a few hours ago, the video has already gathered over 32,000 views – and counting. From praising the cop’s bravery to lauding the police department, people shared varied comments on the post. There were also a few who wished the cop a happy life ahead.

“Welcome back sir. You guys are heroes for me,” wrote a Twitter user. “Let there be many more who come back home soon,” wished another. “Good to see that our heroes are coming back to the duty. Thank you for the service sir. A big salute,” expressed another. “Welcome back solider,” tweeted a fourth.

A few days ago, the department shared another video which details a similar tale of survival. They shared the story of one of their officials and his family – his wife and two kids. All the four members of the family tested positive for coronavirus, thankfully, they got cured and returned home.
