Giants players step up for injured New Jersey police officer

Several New York Giants players, including RB Saquon Barkley, stepped up in a big way for an injured New Jersey police officer.

New York Giants superstar running back Saquon Barkley and some of his teammates are coming to the aid of Port Authority police officer Peter Siano, who was hospitalized in critical condition Tuesday after he was hit by a car in Jersey City while securing a crash scene.

Siano and three Jersey City PD officers were directing traffic around the crash scene when a driver failed to adhere to their signals and smashed into a JCPD cruiser, which subsequently hit Siano.

Siano suffered “serious” injuries and was hospitalized while the driver responsible for the accident has been arrested and charged with assault by auto.

Barkley found out about the incident and decided to act.

From TMZ Sports:

When the NY Giants found out about the situation, a bunch of players decided to make get-well videos for Siano … including Barkley, Sterling Shepard and Grant Haley.

And, get this … Barkley is even offering Siano a VIP experience with the team once he recovers.

“Thinking about you guys and once everything gets better, I would like to invite you guys to a Giants game,” Barkley said. “And to the police department, appreciate everything you guys are doing for us during this time.” Get well soon!!!

New Jersey Advance Media also posted a few videos from Barkley, wide receiver Sterling Shepard and cornerback Grant Haley.

Another great gesture by Barkley and the Giants giving back to the hard working first responders in the community.
