O'Donnell said the lady kept trying to ask how she could get the money back to him, but he wouldn't have it.

"I said, look, don't worry about it. It's only $44. You'll be right," he said. The pair had never met, and haven't run into each other since the incident.

"She's a beautiful lovely old lady. She reminded me of my nan or grandma. I just could not walk away. That's how my mum and dad brought me up," O'Donnell said. What a champ.
