A North Carolina cop's uplifting Facebook photo showing his run-in with a man who tried to stab him last year has gone viral.

Raleigh Police Officer JD Boyd took to Facebook after randomly reuniting with a former suspect who nearly killed him, posting an image of the two new pals grinning side-by-side along with a touching message.
