I was on the bus one day with my small kids when an elderly man was verbally assaulted
Everyone got up & moved away
Except me
I sat next to him and created a physical barrier between him and the man screaming threats at him.
I was terrified but refused to leave his side

The bus driver eventually stopped the bus & called the police
Abusive man gets off the bus
I give this old man my phone number & offer to be a witness
He said to me " Did you see how everyone moved away? Thank you for staying with me "

Later on the police visited my house to take a statement. They said how grateful Richard had been that I'd helped him so much.
I replied that I just treat people the way I would want to be treated
The police officer said to me, " Do you not know who Richard is?"
