She’s a hero on and off screen.
Mariska Hargitay would have made her “Law & Order: SVU” character, Olivia Benson, proud last week when she helped a child find their parent after they assumed the actress was an on-duty police officer.
According to witnesses at the Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park, the little girl became separated from her mother and ran up to Hargitay, 60, when she saw the police badge on her belt.

Witnesses told People that the little girl was completely oblivious to the film crew and “SVU” vet Ice-T.
The Post reached out to Hargitay’s reps for comment.
After enlisting the help of the beloved actress, production on the final episodes of the show’s historic 25th season was halted for about 20 minutes as she helped the child locate her mother.
