Donald Trump Jr. helped a woman whose car had stalled in Arizona, and the incident was captured on social media, according to McClatchy DC.

Tyler Bowyer, chairman of the Maricopa County Republican Party, took the video of the GOP nominee's eldest son helping two other men push a Chevy Impala out of the street. He was traveling between campaign events when the stalled Impala delayed his car.

Bowyer tweeted:

 

 

Trump Jr. did not behave the way most politicians might, said Bowyer, and "I've been around a lot of politicians. Most would just freak out or go around. But Don Jr., before you can blink, he's out there pushing the car."

The driver of the Impala was surprised at the identity of the person who helped push her car, so he got a picture of the woman with Trump Jr.

"She was stunned. She was taken aback. She was like, 'Man, I have to be able to tell people about this.' So we made him get out and take a picture. And that was it," Bowyer said.

In an interview with The Arizona Republic, Bowyer praised Trump Jr., saying, "This was a real act of service that he just naturally did. Politics was on the back end of it. The front end of this was being a good neighbor, being a good American. It was 101 degrees outside, for crying out loud."

Brian Seitchick, a passenger in Trump's car, told the Republic, "He was the first to jump out to help push the car."

Trump Jr. has been a frequent surrogate for his father on the campaign trail. Last week, he said that running for president was a "step down" for his dad, considering he has not spent his life as a politician.
