A Muslim blogger in religious dress receives 'breathtaking' gestures of kindness when he acts as a homeless man, in this captivating video.
Clutching a cardboard sign with just the words 'I'm homeless' written on it, blogger Hassan Saleemi films himself sat down in London's Leicester square during the social experiment.
While he is ignored by many people passing by some stop to ask him if he is alright and he is soon approached by one man who offers him food.

The Middlesex University graduate (pictured right) said the experiment was to see ' if the humanity still existed in the world'
Three girl's then come up to check on the Londoner. Amazingly, one then offers him a £50 note.
This forces the 23-year-old blogger to break character to turn down the money.
Speaking to MailOnline the Middlesex University graduate said: 'I was born and bred in London and I have never experienced some of the negativity you see and here about.
'As a Muslim I wanted to show that there are people out there who want to help and it doesn't matter if you are homeless, Muslim or anything.
'When the three girl's approached me and asked if I was OK and one of the girls offered me a £50 note it was a feeling I could not explain.
'To be honest I had to let them this was a social media experiment. After the kind gesture I just had to let them know.'
One woman is even seen offering the 'homeless' man £50 (pictured). He said, 'after the kind gesture I just had to let them know it was an experiment'
The video was posted on YouTubechannel Hstar Vlogs on Friday.
Mr Saleemi, whose family are from Pakistan, has been making videos for about a year, but this was his first social experiment.
He said: 'I was only out for about an hour and in that time about 15 to 20 people acknowledged me or came up to me.
'This is the first video I have done that has got a reaction like this.'
