Heartwarming footage shows the moment locals rally round a street food seller after he dropped all of his stock on the ground.
A video shows the man picking up the food in a street in Medellin, Colombia, with the sad realisation that he's lost a day's takings.
However, within seconds generous passersby are seen giving him money to make up for his loss.
Human rights activist @_SJPeace_ uploaded the video clip on Twitter to show the kind generosity of strangers and the video soon went viral.
He said: "A street food vendor dropped what he was going to sell. Watch the beautiful response from the people around him. This is EMPATHY. We need more of this.
"This is what humanity looks like. This is what Hope looks like. This is what Love does.
"It repairs what's been broken. It took one person to initiate this kind act and so many others followed."
The footage has been retweeted more than 250,000 times with Twiter users praising the people of Medellin.

@JuicyKratom said: "That’s my home city!! So proud, Colombians and specifically Paisas (what is people from Medellín are called) are the best!!!!!
While @Roysterini added: "Lovely! People need to do this more. Not only does it feel good for the other person, but for oneself too."
