A story has been shared about a citizen who found an elderly person with dementia wandering around in subzero weather wearing only thermal underwear, took off their own coat, and protected them. On the 22nd, a video titled "A Citizen's Amazing Choice Upon Finding an Elderly Person with Dementia (Touching)" was uploaded to the National Police Agency's YouTube channel.
At that time, the convenience store's closed-circuit television (CCTV) showed a woman talking with someone. Despite the very cold weather with a wind chill dropping to minus 15 degrees Celsius, the woman was not wearing a coat. Shortly after, the woman entered the convenience store, followed by an elderly person wearing what appeared to be the woman's coat. It turned out that the elderly person had left home wearing only thermal underwear and had been wandering the streets for over an hour. In the video, the woman immediately took off her coat and gave it to the elderly person, along with a warm drink. After reporting to the police, she stayed by the elderly person's side until the police arrived.

The police who arrived at the scene tried to verify the elderly person's identity to hand them over to their family, but the elderly person could not remember anything. Soon, the police returned to the precinct with the elderly person to confirm their identity. At that moment, a report came in stating "Mother has disappeared," and through a call with the reporter, it was confirmed that the missing person was the same elderly person at the precinct.
The elderly person's daughter rushed over upon hearing the news. She shed tears of relief and expressed gratitude to the police officers. The police said, "We sincerely thank the citizen who protected the elderly person," and added, "We are glad we could help." Netizens who saw the video responded with comments such as, "It's a huge relief that the elderly person met such kind people," "People like that make us feel the world is still warm," and "The act of taking off a coat and handing a freshly heated drink from the warmer warms the hearts of viewers as well."
