Officer Andrew Dillon of the Citywide Traffic Task Force could not get his police vehicle to start and decided to dig it out so it could be towed from its location on 29th Street and Broadway, Sgt. Jessica McRorie, a spokesperson for the NYPD told Fox News. 

Dillon was lent a helping hand by a good samaritan, who picked up a shovel and started digging the vehicle out of the snow.
