The actor recently made headlines for intervening in a LAPD arrest.
The 65-year-old was driving when he spotted a homeless Black man interacting with two cops. Out of concern for his safety, Denzel pulled over on the side of the road and served as a barrier between them.
“We intervened, spoke with the individual and determined that he did not want to harm himself or others, and he was on his way, and Denzel left,” the officer continues. “Denzel provided him a mask to protect himself from the environment and that was good. So Denzel helped us today.”
