He was outside playing alone in freezing temperatures Monday when Officer Calvin Graham pulled over.

Graham says the boy reminded him of his sons so he decided to play catch.

Caden's mom caught the five minute game on video. She posted it to Facebook and it's already been shared hundreds of times.
