A passerby, apparently doing a morning run, took off his sneakers and gave them to a homeless man sitting on the sidewalk, writes Pix11. Then the runner went barefoot.

According to a user of Twitter under the nickname NYorNothing, on Sunday at about 9 in the morning she was riding in a taxi near the World Trade Center. From the window, she saw a man taking off his sneakers and socks and leaving shoes next to a man sitting on the ground, whom the witness described as homeless.

It is not yet known for sure whether this person was really homeless. The identities of both men have not been established.

The video shows how the runner leaves, walking on the sidewalk of Manhattan with bare feet. Prior to this, he did not speak with a seated person for long.

It was 9am in the WTC area, I watched as a jogger took off his sneakers, gave them to a homeless man, & walked the NYC streets barefoot.

“I assumed he was taking off his socks because they had money in them,” the woman said on Twitter, adding that she took the video while her taxi was stopped at a red light.

A bystander shared the touching video on Twitter, captioning it: “Our identity is in what we do when we think no one is looking.”
