Bellevue Cop Stops Traffic To Help Duck Family: Video

Just in time for Mother's Day, the officer and local citizen helped a family of ducks cross a busy street on Monday.

BELLEVUE, WA - If it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, and squawks like a duck ... it's probably going to need some help crossing the street.

On Monday afternoon, Bellevue bike officer Amir Mousavi stopped traffic along 116th Avenue Southeast to let a mother duck and her ducklings cross. The duck family got an assist from a citizen who herded them toward the curb.

The whole incident was captured on a Bellevue traffic camera around 1:45 p.m. Monday.

You might remember Mousavi from last December. He was the bike officer who helped a man get his cash-stuffed wallet back from a thief. In 2016, Mousavi arrested a woman who bought a $9,000 purse at Hermes with a stolen credit card.
