Woman Gets Harassed On A Train And A Stranger Comes To The Rescue

The world can be a scary yet beautiful place. One would hope that, most of the time, it leads to the beautiful, especially when dealing with human adults who have the ability to process their decisions with free will and a moral code. Unfortunately, as we all know, this isn't always the case.

Women are constantly threatened, intimidated, and harassed in public places. This is a fact that we have all painfully come to recognize as we grow older, either by experiencing it ourselves or witnessing it happen around us. In these moments, you have a choice: do you sit back and pretend to ignore what you are seeing, or do you take action?

One Reddit user shared her story online, highlighting someone who made the right choice in the face of this kind of harassment.

A man had already been inappropriate toward this woman on the platform and then proceeded to stand over her when she sat on the train.

Fortunately, this good Samaritan had the perfect plan for the situation.

Any man or woman who feels they can intervene in such moments without putting themselves or the victim in further danger should always do so. This approach is ideal, as it doesn't unnecessarily escalate the situation, allowing everyone to get away safely.

The internet had plenty to say about this, including praise for the man who stepped in and sharing similar stories of their own.

What a commendable initiative!
