CHICAGO ( WGN ) — A former alderman has caught social media praise after being identified as the man who reportedly draped his coat across a sleeping passenger aboard a Chicago Transit Authority L train last week.
The :09 video posted to TikTok last week shows a man seated on the train glancing at another passenger spread across a row of seats.
“This kid is likely homeless asleep on the train and this man took off what I’m guessing is a very nice expensive down jacket & laid it on him,” a caption on Maddie VanCuran’s Friday video said. “It was a good reminder for me that my ‘worst’ days are someone’s ‘best’ days. Just a reminder to be kind because it can go so much farther than we realize.”
