Watch kind cop go above and beyond to rescue Captain America from the side of the highway

When Captain America was having a bad day, a hero cop came to his rescue.

Matt Gnojek was on his way to a Christmas charity performance at a children’s hospital in Castle Rock, Colorado, dressed as Captain America when his motorcycle broke down on a busy highway. Gnojek could certainly have used the superpowers of the actual Captain America and his Marvel buddies, but in reality, he was stranded.

Happily, that’s when a real-life superhero sprang into action in the form of Douglas County Sheriff’s Deputy Zach Zepeski. Arriving on the scene, the kind deputy offered to personally pay for the motorbike to be towed in the spirit of Christmas, leaving this Captain America tale with a very happy ending.

Watch the video above to see the marvelous moment a kind cop comes to the rescue of Captain America.
