Tragedy was averted when a young guy from Moroccan origins passing by witnessed a stranger attempting suicide in Swanley Station, East of London.

Younes Issawi told Arab in UK (AUK) that he was in Swanley Station with his friend when he spotted a stranger laying down on the train tracks. Younes then began trying to convenience the man to change.

Three days later, Younes was approached by one of the workers in the station asking him if he was the hero that saved the stranger attempting to end his life.

The worker called his act heroic and complimented him on his actions and wits.

The worker that approached Younes had walked him to the station offices where he was also praised for his heroic actions by the woman in charge.

He told AUK that the woman asked him “Were you not afraid you die?”, but he stressed that the human and religious values he believes in encourage him to help other despite their religion or race.

Younes then asked the workers if it is possible to have the clip recording of what occurred, but they, unfortunately, declined but proceed to take his personal info to send him a Thank You card.

No gratitude was shown to the Muslim hero

 

However, Younes told AUK that he did not receive any official thanks. And he believes that would be due to the double standards that foreign governments hold against Muslims and Arabs where they portray them as violent thirsty people. (Ambien)

He said “The government would have shown me gratitude if I were European. I acted on the values I was raised with as a Muslim, and they are the same values my parents were raised on, and we will pass them to the future generations too”

It is worth mentioning too that the incident happened days after Younes underwent surgery on his back. More to add to his heroic selfishness act
