As he was driving through Mesa from one campaign event to another on Thursday, the oldest son of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump made an unexpected stop to help a stuck driver.

"We were on our way from a rally to another event and Donald Trump Jr. hopped out first to help push this lady's car off the road, get some water and call for help," Maricopa County Republican Party Chairman Tyler Bowyer posted on Facebook, along with video. "Needless to say, she was pretty surprised to find out it was Donald Trump Jr. pushing her car."

The video shows Trump Jr. and two other men pushing an Impala out of the street. Bowyer also posted a photo of Trump Jr. with a smiling woman in front of the Impala.

Within 40 minutes of posting the video, it had been shared more than 400 times.

Bowyer also tweeted out the video.

In an interview with The Arizona Republic, Bowyer said he was in the car with Trump Jr. and they had just exited the freeway and saw the Impala stall a couple of cars in front of them.

"I've been around a lot of politicians. Most would just freak out or go around," he said. "But Don Jr. ... before you can blink, he's out there pushing the car."

Bowyer said the group then gave the woman every water bottle they had in the car so she wouldn't get dehydrated while waiting for help. Phoenix temperatures topped 100 degrees Thursday afternoon.

Bowyer said Trump Jr. didn't tell the woman who he was, but just jumped back in the car. Bowyer said others with the group told the woman it was Trump Jr.

"She was just stunned. She was taken aback," Bowyer said. "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 the woman didn't indicate who she was voting for. But he said the incident solidified his own support for the Trump family.

"This was a real act of service that he just naturally did," he said. "Politics was on the back end of it. The front end of this was being a good neighbor, being a good American. I was 101 degrees outside, for crying out loud."

Brian Seitchik was also in the car with the group at the time. "He was the first to jump out to help push the car," he said of Trump Jr.
