This is the moment a cop gives a candlelit cake to a teenager at the roadside after the lad was stopped for speeding and he burst into tears because his family forgot his birthday.

The incident was filmed in an unspecified located in Thailand and was later shared on Facebook by police officer Kanokpan Putthapong where it has been viewed 80,000 times.

Putthapong accompanied the clip with the message: “Happy birthday, bro. This year, the police will buy you a birthday cake.”

The officer added: “On the day I was on duty, the motorcyclist was riding over the speed limit without a helmet or licence plate. I decided to stop and arrest him.”

However, after the biker burst into tears, the cop asked him what was wrong and the teen said it was his birthday and all his family members did not seem to care.

He reportedly stormed out of his brother’s home feeling neglected and was soon stopped by the police.

Officer Putthapong calmed the teen down before nipping to nearest 7-Eleven convenience store to buy him a cake and candles.

He then gifted the candlelit cake to the motorcyclist and let him off with a warning.

In the heartwarming footage, the sobbing youngster is seen sitting on the kerb as the smiling cop presents the cake to him.

He then blows out the candles and dries his eyes before being handed a plastic spoon.

The police officer reportedly gave him the cake and then let him off with a warning.
