Good Samaritan saves mother and daughter on KTM Komuter
THE STAR
PETALING JAYA: A Good Samaritan came to the aid of a woman and her daughter, protecting the two from a group of robbers on the KTM Komuter train.
In a Facebook post, Reena Peter claimed that she was set on by a group of young thugs while travelling via Komuter to KL Sentral on Saturday evening.
The boys, she claimed, had attempted to rob Reena and her daughter in the train, which was emptier than usual.
However, the robbery was thwarted by the Good Samaritan.
In an attempt to save Reena and her daughter, the man engaged in a fight with the mob and knocked out the leader of the group.
After the fight, the thugs got left at the next station. However, Reena and her daughter, who were in shock, did not have time to say thank you to their saviour.
Not wanting to let the good deed go unnoticed, Reena shared her experience and expressed her appreciation to the man in a Facebook post.
Her post has since been shared over 300 times.
Below is her recollection of the encounter:
“First I would thank the guy in the above picture for saving my daughter and me. This (Saturday) evening my daughter and I were travelling to KL Sentral. Since it’s a Saturday, there were less people in the KTM.
“A gang of boys came to us and knowing we were alone, started to misbehave with my daughter and me. They even threatened us and asked us to give them all of our money and phones. The guy in the photo attached came in like an angel and fought with the mob.
“The head of the mob collapsed and the rest got down at the next point with their head. We were in an a trauma after the attack and were not able to ask this angel’s name or say thank you. But my daughter got his picture on her mobile. If any one know this guy please share that Ms Reena and her daughter said thanks.”
Attempts to reach Reena for further comment have been unsuccessful.
The Star is also working on identifying the Good Samaritan.
