Coby Persin, known for his social experiment videos took to the streets of New York City to test the charity of pedestrians.

He sat on the street alone for one hour with a sign saying: "Homeless. Need money for weed, drugs and alcohol."

He then spent one hour on the streets accompanied by a young girl and a sign saying: "Homeless single father. Need money for family."
