Melbourne: A Sikh man from India, who made international headlines after he removed his turban to help a profusely bleeding child in New Zealand, has been presented with a truckload of new furniture for his sparsely decorated flat by a TV station.
Harman Singh, 22, was at his home in Auckland when a six- year-old boy, who was walking to school with his elder sister, was hit by a car nearby last week.
Mr Singh rushed to the spot after hearing the screeching of car wheels and the commotion.
Media worldwide reported his good deed and netizens praised Mr Singh for his action, considered a hugely significant act of humanity.
After airing the report, viewers raised concerns about his home, which was very sparsely decorated -- there were only a few plastic garden chairs in the living room, and Mr Singh slept on a mattress on the floor.
Mr Singh said he was simply doing what anyone would have done in that situation.
Mr Singh's flatmate Ravi and Lily from the furniture shop also came on board to help fill his house. When the van pulled up outside his house, he was speechless.
"A lounge suite, a bed and a coffee table, for all the good that you've done," he said.
