Damone Hudson drives a bus in Ohio, USA, and noticed the woman standing on the other side of the safety rail.

Pulling over and stepping out of the bus he asks her to come back to safety. When she doesn’t move he steps closer and asks her a question.

‘Ma’am, you look like you’re having a bad day, you know. Can I give you a hug?’

Hudson stayed and talked with the woman until police arrived and took over, and then the compassionate bus-driver continued with his route.

Speaking about the experience later with WHIO he explains why he decided to stop.

‘I know that every person’s struggle is different and everybody’s going through something, but you always want to continue,’ he said.
