A pair of Boston cops fulfilled a local residents birthday wish when they showed up to his home with a celebratory muffin and line of candles to blow out shortly after midnight on Thursday.
The man, who was turning 25, called authorities and said, I want someone to say happy birthday to me, according to the police department.
Officer Israel Bracho and his partner Franklin Ortiz originally were under the impression the call was a joke, but after verifying it really was the young mans special day, they jumped into action, WHDH reported.
Everyone has one birthday, so everyone deserves to feel special on that one day, Bracho told the outlet. 3 The Boston Police Department responded to a call from a man asking them to sing happy birthday to him. Boston Police Department
Bodycam footage captured showed the man, named Chris, get to the door to greet the cops.
Were happy that youre 25, thats a big number, one of the officers told Chris as the other cop lit the candles to the muffin, the footage shows.
How old are you, Chris asked, to which the officer replied, Oh, were old men, were about 40.
As the officer began to serenade Chris with the “Happy Birthday” song, he broke out in an ear-to-ear grin.
After making a wish and blowing out the candles, an ecstatic Chris gave them both handshakes.
For anyone looking to end their week on a positive note, look no further!

“You guys are too awesome,” Chris said.
We wish you the best birthday you need anything else? one of the officers said.
Nothing, this is more than I can ask for, Chris replied as he held the muffin up. 3 As the officer began to serenade Chris with the “Happy Birthday” song, he broke out in an ear-to-ear grin.

Bracho, one of the two officers, told WHDH that on their way there, they decided to pick up the muffin because we cant show up to someones house empty-handed. My mother raised me right she wouldve killed me if I didnt.
Chris later said the officers gesture made his day, Boston police said.
