Police were called to a report from a neighbour that a group of black children were playing on the street outside their home - and officers had the perfect response when they arrived at the scene.
A marked police car pulled up on the road in Ohio, US, and the two officers responding to the call stepped out to find six young boys playing a game of American football.
Seemingly baffled as to why the children had been reported and seeing no reason to stop the game, they simply joined in.
A video, taken by one of the mums, captures the heartwarming moment the two officers line up on opposing sides of the game.
The pair sprint down the road as one of the boys throws up a pass for them to chase, and the competitive pair are so determined to win the contest they both end up on the floor as they battle over the ball.
Their commitment to the game wins them a few new fans, as the group cheer and chase after them to congratulate the victorious officer.
Mum Wendy Brown, who can be heard giggling at the sweet moment, told Fox8 : "I don’t know the cop's name, but he came to me and said 'I don’t know who would do it, but someone called police on the kids, they said they were playing in the street so we came by’.
The mum added: "We encourage them to go outside and just be kids, so they were just playing football out in the street like they do any other time."
Fox TV anchor Elizabeth Noreika shared the clip on Twitter, writing: "A Shaker Heights mom says someone called police on her kids playing football in the street. This is what happened when they showed up..."
It's gained more than 340,000 views, as one commented to say: "Get out there and love people, ain’t that difficult."
A second wrote: "I hope the person that called was watching."
Another replied: "America needs this positivity right now. Thank you for sharing it."
