Off-duty NYPD hero at Blackstone Tower

On July 29, Didarul was off duty. But he was still in uniform, standing inside 345 Park Avenue. When chaos broke out, he didn’t hesitate. He stepped forward, tried to intervene, and was critically injured in front of witnesses.
He had no obligation. No duty. But he acted like he always did, like a true cop. That’s why his colleagues call him “a cop’s cop.” That’s why New York mourns him. Because heroes like Islam aren’t just in uniform. They live the values, even when the shift ends.
