An off-duty Kelowna, B.C., cop didn’t care that he wasn’t on shift when he saw one of his fellow officers in need.
RCMP distributed a video Monday of Const. Nathan Nickel running to help a fellow officer Nov. 1, while he was off duty.
According to RCMP, Nickel was in Lake Country when he saw a coworker dealing with a suspect who was “not co-operating.”
He parked his vehicle, secured his family, then ran up a hill to assist in the takedown of an “agitated suspect.”

There’s some quick movement among people in the video before it ends.
