A Maine family stranded at a Massachusetts train station was given a ride all the way home by one of Boston’s finest, Portland ABC affiliate WMTW reported.
The Malenfant family was on its way home from New York, where 19-year-old Kori Malenfant had just been released after brain surgery, according to WMTW. The family only missed their connecting train by five minutes, the station reported.
The temperatures Saturday were in the single digits at North Station in Boston, and nearby police Capt. Kelley McCormick was sympathetic to their plight. He had donated a kidney for transplant to his wife, and remembered how difficult the time after surgery was, WMTW reported.
“They looked tired,” McCormick told the television station. “(Kori) looked cold and frail.”
The police captain drove the family all the way back to Portland in his cruiser, WMTW reported.
“There were just no words at that point,” Malenfant told the station. “We were so thankful.”
