Mohamed Salah saved a homeless man from being harassed by a group of yobs outside Anfield.
The incident occurred on September 28 shortly after Liverpool beat Arsenal 3-1 in the Premier League.
Salah pulled up to a petrol station in his Bentley near Anfield when he saw a group of yobs taunting a homeless man.
The Egyptian stepped in and gave the gang a ticking off, telling them that they should be careful as they could end up in the same situation.
After scaring the group off, he went to the cash machine to withdraw £100 for the man.
David Craig has been homeless for six years and has hailed Salah as a "real-life hero".
Mr Craig told The Sun : “Mo was every bit as wonderful as he is for Liverpool on the pitch.
“He heard what a group of lads were saying to me, then turned to them and said, ‘That could be you in a few years’.
“I only knew I wasn’t hallucinating when Mo incredibly handed me £100. What a complete legend.”
The incident, which was caught on CCTV, happened in an area where Mr Craig has been sleeping rough for some time.
The former labourer revealed how a couple of lads approached him to taunt him, telling him to get a job and asking why he was begging.
He added: "He saw what was happening and said something to them and then he went to the cash machine.
“Mo is a real-life hero in my eyes and I want to thank him.”
Salah's kind gesture comes amid Liverpool's attempts to retain the Premier League title after winning it for the first time last season.
The former Roma star is currently the club's top scorer with five in all competitions - including a brace in Liverpool's shock 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa.
Jurgen Klopp's men were humbled on Sunday after a hat-trick from Ollie Watkins, as well as goals from Jack Grealish, Ross Barkley and John McGinn.
