When they found him, they sprung into action.
The missing man, Tyree, managed to travel from Philadelphia to New York City, where he got lost at Grand Central Madison.
The officers ultimately helped him board a train back home to be reunited with his family.
"The family was going to come to New York to pick him up originally and someone came up with the idea to get him on an Amtrak train and have the family meet him there, Siegelbaum.

The officers, Tyree, and his uncle all reunited over zoom with Eyewitness News.
"I'm grateful that they were even able to coordinate something like this because I've heard of countless times where it didn't end like this," Tyree's uncle, Kevin Watson, said.
Tyree says he would like to thank the officers for escorting him over.
