This elderly woman's kind gesture to a fellow passenger has been shared worldwide

On Vancouver’s Skytrain last week, Ehab Taha managed to capture a moment that he described as "the most incredible display of humanity".

Writing on Facebook, the British Columbia resident said that "a six foot five man suffering from drug abuse and\or mental health issues" became very aggressive and erratic on the bus, cursing and shouting.

While most of the passengers was understandably apprehensive, one brave woman saw someone who was struggling and was moved to reach out.
