Police Officers Give Homeless Man 'Down On His Luck' A Makeover

ROME, N.Y. (CBS) – An act of kindness by a police department in New York is going viral.

Police in Rome, New York shared photos on Facebook Tuesday of officers "giving back and providing a helping hand."

They said Bobby, a homeless man down on his luck, told police he'd love a haircut and warm shower.

Officers did that and more for Bobby.

"This morning we provided Bobby with a haircut, a shave, a shower and a whole new wardrobe of donated clothing," police wrote. "Bobby left looking like a whole new person and couldn't thank us enough."

The post on the Rome Police Department Facebook page has been shared more than 9,000 times so far.
