A crumb from Vancouver, Canada

Facebook user Ehab Taha was a passenger on the Sky Train in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, recently when another passenger became aggressive. The man was shouting and cursing, and everyone else looked scared. A few minutes later, Taha took this photo.

Instead of turning away, this 70-year-old woman had reached out and held the man's hand, gripping it tightly until he calmed down. When the man arrived at his stop, he stood up and said, "Thanks, Grandma," before getting off. Later the woman told Taha, "I"m a mother, and he needed someone to touch."
