A Good Samaritan on a scooter has been praised by the public after being caught on camera helping an elderly woman cross a busy road in China.

The man stopped his scooter to block oncoming traffic after spying the older lady stuck in the middle of the busy street. He then waited very patiently for the lady to get to the other side with just her walking stick for help.

After the lady safely crosses the four-lane highway, the man on the scooter takes off. The touching event was caught on camera in Hezhou, in south China’s Guangxi Province.

The Hezhou Traffic Police released the CCTV footage to the public last week on their Twitter-like account, known as Weibo. The footage has been widely shared since. The pensioner was trying to cross in an area with a set of traffic lights, according to the Chinese policemen.

They reported that the green light signal to walk was on when the lady started to cross. Unfortunately, it turned to red as she was halfway across the road.

While many of the oncoming cars did stop for her, some of the cars in the outer lane kept on driving, ignoring the fact that she was left helpless in the middle of the road. When the man on the scooter saw this, he pulled his scooter into traffic, blocking the cars from moving any further.

In the footage, you can see him gesture to the car behind him, indicating that they needed to let the lady cross to the other side of the road. Chinese media, internet users, and traffic police are all praising the unnamed man.

The Hezhou Police have even praised the young man for stepping forward to help a stranger when they needed it.

Hundreds of thousands of internet commenters have praised the man’s act, saying they were warmed by his actions. Of course, some negative comments surfaced, such as why the man wasn’t wearing a helmet in traffic. We are just glad this man was there to help his fellow human in need. You can watch this amazing exchange here:
