It was a wet and miserable day in Hobart on Tuesday, but one young man’s act of kindness shone through the rain.
After coming across a burning power pole in Blackmans Bay, the man noticed a policewoman directing traffic in the downpour without an umbrella.
Without hesitation, he stopped and hand-delivered his own blue umbrella, telling her to keep it and stay dry.
The mystery man’s act of kindness was quickly noticed by onlookers at the scene of the incident.

At its peak, the fire knocked out power for over 2000 customers in the Blackmans Bay and Kingston area, causing significant disruption – according to TasNetworks.
Power was restored for most affected properties in the early evening.
