The video has received over 9.6 lakh views and more than 54,000 likes.
People have thanked the policeman for taking such a step for the safety of commuters.
"Humanity is more than a duty, again proved," a user wrote. While another said, "My salute and respect."
"Huge respect sir," a separate tweet said.
