A Good Samaritan was filmed entrusting a homeless man with his bank card and pin so he could withdraw £20 out for himself.

The bearded man returns to the punter sitting outside a bar in Newcastle and hands him back his card, along with a receipt to prove the amount.

They share a warm handshake and a friendly exchange before the homeless man begins to walk away.

The heart-warming footage was filmed by builder Jack Fada, 27, who says it’s proof Newcastle is the ‘greatest place on Earth’.


He uploaded the video to Facebook, with the caption: ‘Homeless man goes up to a group of people and asks for money.



‘The bloke gives him his bank card and PIN number and tells him to take 20 quid for himself.

‘Don’t dare tell me Newcastle isn’t the greatest place on Earth.’

Speaking today, Jack revealed that he filmed the touching moment in August last year, but wanted to share the stranger’s kindness on social media.

He said: ‘I was working as a builder demolishing the old Legends nightclub which is downstairs to Harry’s bar.

‘I would go outside now and then for fresh air and a cuppa and I see loads of homeless people sleeping and begging, so when I saw what was happening I started to record.

‘I’ve worked all over the country and I don’t think anyone is as kind as us Geordies.’
