Mariska Hargitay halts ‘SVU’ filming to help lost child who confused her for police officer

NEW YORK — Actress Mariska Hargitay recently took her role as Detective Olivia Benson on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” a step further in real life, helping a lost child, who mistook her for a real police officer, reunite with her mother, a witness told People.

According to the report, while shooting “SVU” on April 10, Hargitay halted production at Anne Loftus Playground in Fort Tryon Park for 20 minutes while she helped a lost child who approached her in costume as a member of law enforcement with a badge. The child did not notice the film crew or her scene partner, Ice-T.
