(ECNS) - A policeman has gained wide attention on social media after a picture showed him squatting on a street corner eating a bowl of instant noodles, just like an exhausted migrant worker, while on duty chasing a suspect.
Yu Cong is a police officer at Bailang Police Station in Shiyan City, Hubei Province. Colleague Wang Jian took the picture of him when they visited Anhui to detain a suspect, Shanghai-based The Paper reported.
To monitor the suspect’s movements, the two plainclothes police officers ate simple food like instant noodles and took it in turns to sleep. After two days of waiting at a location, they finally found the suspect on the run on May 16.
Wang Jian shared the picture on social networking app WeChat with the caption “This is my brother on a business trip. I feel bad,” winning numerus likes.
In another picture, 30-year-old Yu appears looking young and smart in his uniform, quite a contrast to the photo revealing the hardships of police work.
