People on social media came together to help a Bangladeshi worker in Saudi Arabia after he was mocked for looking at a jewellery shop display. Nuzroul Abdulkareem, who works as a cleaner, earns around $187 (700 Saudi Riyals).

It all started when a social media user shared Abdulkareem’s picture online and wrote “this man deserves to only look at rubbish”. Saudis on Twitter instantly sprung in action to find Abdulkareem. Abdullah Al-Qahtani, a Saudi national, finally managed to track him down in Riyadh and gave him many gifts.

So far, Abdulkareem has received two-way tickets to his home country, bags of rice and honey and even two phones – an iPhone 7 and one Samsung Galaxy handset, reports Al Arabiya. Another online user tweeted photos of him holding gifts of gold.
