From the London subway comes the story of a Good Samaritan who saw a blind man lose a shoe and offered his own to make sure the man could keep his balance.

It was recounted to British media by a passenger on the train that day named Sami, who had originally shared it on Reddit.

It happened when a man of South Asian parentage, a blind man, and Sami all descended the steps to the circle line at Kings Cross station.

Approaching the train as it arrived at the platform, the blind man tripped, setting off a chain of good reactions that made Sami “shiver.”

“A few of us on the train then helped the gentleman find a seat. Once the man sat down he realized he had a missing shoe,” Sami wrote in a post on Reddit. “It slipped between the platform and the train.”

“Before the train left the platform we all tried to tell the [Transport for London] driver… But I’m guessing a miscommunication occurred and the train left the platform. On doing so the blind man got a bit panicked as he only had one shoe.”

“This absolute hero without hesitation took off his shoe and gave it to the blind man. It is a damn cold day after he got out at Liverpool Street to try and find a pair of shoes.”

The Metro UK newspaper reports that British social media is “on the hunt” for this “absolute hero” after Sami blurred his face and withheld his name for privacy reasons.

“He was worried about his shoe. Then this dude just took his off and said ‘here take mine’. It was such an act of kindness it really showed that people are good and that mainly we try and look after one another,” Sami told the Metro. “I’ve only ever known London to be a kind place. Just to think of it sends shivers down my spine.”

When the staff at Kings Cross were interviewed, they said it made them all feel good to see how many people rushed to help the blind man back to his feet and onto the train, but they didn’t see what took place on board.

“There’s so much aggro that we see but this was a case of someone going out of their way to help,” a subway worker said.
