The ‘random act of kindness’ took place on the 341 bus route in Surrey, B.C. and was witnessed by an off-duty bus driver who took photos of the incident, which were later posted on Facebook.

“It made my heart melt,” Surjit Singh Virk told QMI Agency. “He just took his shoes and socks off and said, ‘You can take these, don’t worry about me — I live close by and can walk.”

Singh Virk added that the recipient was “shocked” by the gift and afterwards exclaimed, “What a nice guy… Did that really happen?”

The man was on his way home from a nearby mosque when he made his kind intervention. He asked not to be identified for his generous deed because the Islamic faith teaches that charitable acts should be anonymous.
