A kind-hearted cop has been pictured sharing a meal with a homeless man on a Florida roadside.

"It appeared that she purchased this gentleman's breakfast and decided to sit down and have breakfast with him," Greene wrote in the post, which has been shared more than 2,000 times.

"I don't know this officer, but, I admire her today and everyday... Absolutely wonderful act of kindness that seemed to come naturally for her."

Hay said she did not know the man but saw him sitting alone so bought him some food.

"He was just there by himself alone, so I just grabbed food and went back to eat with him," she told TODAY. "Nobody wants to eat alone. I like eating with anybody."

She said that she enjoyed talking to the man, adding: "He's got a story, just like everyone else. 'It just happens to be a sad story."
