Now and then, we do come across a few good Samaritans who manage to restore our faith in humanity with their tales of bravery or by simply helping out a fellow being.
The popular Facebook page ‘Humans of Bombay’ recently posted a story of how an elderly taxi driver saved a young woman being followed by a group of drunken men late at night in Mumbai a few years ago.
“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.

The noise created enough alarm, because they were startled and immediately ran away in the other direction,” he explained.
