A cop’s wig flew clean off his head while he wrestled an agitated drunk in the street – before a passerby calmly popped it back on without saying a word.
Three cops wrestled the drunk suspect to the ground while a fourth held back another agitated man.
The scrap turned into farce when the cop’s wig suddenly flew off during the struggle in Busan, South Korea.

He noticed the mishap but stayed locked on the job with no free hand to grab the hairpiece.
A nearby onlooker bent down, scooped up the toupee, and gently set it back on the officer’s bald head.
The cop patted it into place and carried on subduing the troublemaker without missing a beat.
The clip went viral on X with 1.6 million views, thousands of reposts and a flood of replies from around the world, as reported by What’s The Jam.
Viewers praised the silent good deed and said the moment looked like something straight out of a sketch show.
Others saluted the officers for continuing through the embarrassment.
One local said: “Wow, I spat my food out. Tears are streaming.”
Another added: “Stick it on properly, lol.”
“Glad the rug didn’t get dirty,” joked a third.
Another said: “That’s something, he gently put the lid back on.”
“Hahaha, I’m dying. Sorry for laughing, cops work so hard,” remarked a fifth.
The police have yet to issue a statement on the viral bust or confirm what happened to the restrained man.
