WATCH ABOVE: Cellphone video taken by a Manhattan subway passenger shows commuter giving homeless man his shirt – Jan 10, 2016

A New York City good Samaritan actually gave the shirt off his back to a homeless man while riding on a Manhattan subway train.

In cellphone video taken by a subway passenger, Lazaro Nolasco, the man can be seen sitting on the train without a shirt when the commuter spotted him. He then proceeded to take off his shirt and help the homeless man put it on.

Nolasco told the New York Daily News “the [homeless] guy didn’t have a shirt on. His body looked sick.”

But the charity doesn’t end there; the commuter also gave the homeless man his hat.
