## Resource

An 80-year-old woman struggling up stairs at a London station is blocked by a man filming her, dismissively telling her to “go round” despite her clear need for help. His casual cruelty sparks outrage online, with Transport for London condemning the behavior as “extremely disappointing and completely unacceptable.” It’s a sobering reminder that small acts of empathy in public spaces can mean the difference between dignity and disrespect.
