The New York Times has identified the "hipster cop", who, in case you are unaware is a NYPD officer who has attracted the attention of local blogs for his "Clark Kent" look, skinny ties and nerdy glasses.

It turns out he is 45-year-old Detective Rick Lee, who is only four months away from being eligible for retirement, despite his youthful appearance.

Detective Lee has been putting in seven days a week since the protests began and and sometimes gives the people gathering in Zuccotti Park advice on how to avoid arrest. .

Still, Lee showed some fellow feeling with the movement in his Times interview. "Maybe I'll grow my hair long again and join these guys," Lee said of his possible post-retirement plans.
