(KNSI) – Greg Schultz was driving in Sauk Rapids on Monday when he saw a kind act he felt was extraordinary and deserving of more attention.

A man in a wheelchair was attempting to cross a snowy road when he got stuck in the bank. Blake Halter, a junior at Sauk Rapids-Rice High School, saw the person and personally escorted the man to the other side, getting out of his vehicle to do so.

Schultz recorded the moment and his video went viral. People chimed in to identify Halter. Both Halter and Schultz were invited to the Sauk Rapids Government Center to be recognized.

They met with police chief Perry Beise on Tuesday. A photo of the ceremony was posted to Facebook.
