A cab driver from Mumbai saved a 25-year-old girl from sexual predaters when she was walking from a bus stop towards her home in the dead of the night.

The story was featured in the 'Humans of Bombay' Facebook page.

The driver from Mumbai said, "...I noticed a young girl, not over 25 walking from the bus stop, possibly towards her home. It was one of those dingy lanes where there aren't a lot of people. I noticed her, because she looked very anxious and when I looked behind her I saw these 2-3 drunk fellows whistling, and calling her names," he said, as he remember the spine chilling incident which unfolded that day.

The driver who was still across the street watching them got worried when they started chasing the girl which is when an idea struck him.

"....I decided to start honking continuously. The noise created enough alarm, because they were startled and immediately ran away in the other direction," he said.

Not only he managed to scare away the rowdies but also it was half the job done. He then crossed over the road to offer the girl a safe ride back home.

He said, "She was so terrified, she had gone completely pale. We drove in silence for those 2-3 minutes....her house was just around the corner, but when she stepped outside, she caught both my hands, started weeping and thanked me over and over again. Even though I said it's okay and that I would have done it for anyone, she insisted that I wait outside while she went in to get something."

She thanked him by giving a tin of rasgulla. Though the cab driver barely knew her for 10 minutes, this is one incident which he will never forget and nor will she.
