'This is the best': Internet adores young girl who assumed Mariska Hargitay to be cop and asked for help during shooting

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Mariska Hargitay is not just saving people on-screen but also helping them on the road!

The ‘Law & Order: Special Victims Unit’ star was approached by a young girl believing Mariska to be a real cop. 

Why did kid approach Hargitay?

The incident took place in New York City on April 10, where the crew was filming one of the final episodes of season 25. 

It was the badge she wore as part of her character’s outfit that attracted the kid to seek help from the actress.

 A witness shared with People,  that the little girl got separated from her mother in the Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park and thought Hargitay was police. 

Hargitay didn’t disappoint the young girl and helped find her mother, halting the shoot for 20 minutes. 

The 60-year-old talked about shooting the season 25 in January with the outlet. 

“We’ve been on a parallel journey. There’s a thing: WWOBD, ‘What would Olivia Benson do?’ The fans would always talk about it, and one day it hit me,” she said about her character Olivia Benson. 

“I also have those moments where I’ve sort of slipped into her. If there’s a crisis, I just take over and lead like that. Being strong and fearless. It’s sort of this perfect feminist story.”

How did 'Law and Order: SVU' create TV history?

 'Law and Order: SVU' is the longest-running character on a prime-time series, making it the longest-running drama series in TV history.

“I have two diametrically opposed answers. One is: I can’t believe it’s been 25 years, a quarter of a century! And the other is, I can’t see it any other way.” 

“I can’t imagine the show ending, and can’t imagine not going on this journey with my cast, my crew."

She added, “I have so much to look forward to. And I’m still growing. I like that you can be so many things at one time. It’s learning to give yourself permission to be all of yourself.”

Internet has also reacted to the young kid incident, "Bravo, for her. I love SVU. I have watched from the beginning and watched when Homocide, Law and Order," one wrote.
