Homeless man had worn the soles off his shoes; cops buy him new boots...

A couple of Norridge officers were observed purchasing new shoes for a homeless man and then watching to make sure they fit.

They did this not knowing someone had taken a picture and did not wish to be personally recognized.

WBBM spoke with the two officers by telephone to talk about the good deed.

They said they were called Dec. 29 to a bus shelter, where a homeless man was sitting with a bunch of blankets.

He reportedly said he had wanted to board a bus, but was told he couldn’t do so because he didn’t have shoes. Full story...
