A homeless man in New York City who was stabbed after coming to a woman's aid was left to die while passers-by ignored him, CCTV footage has shown.
Police said that at least 25 people walked past Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax as he bled to death on a pavement in Queens.
The 31-year-old from Guatemala was repeatedly stabbed by a man as he intervened during the attack last week.
The footage shows it was an hour and a half before somebody tried to rouse him and contacted the emergency services.
In the security camera video, a woman is followed by a man, who then appears to attack her.
Mr Tale-Yax walks toward them. Off-camera he is stabbed several times while trying to help the woman.
the forum title sounds like an onion headline
The camera captures the apparent attacker running away.
Mr Tale-Yax gives chase but collapses. He is seen lying in the street fatally wounded, as several people walk past him.
Relatives of Mr Tale-Yax said he had recently lost his job and his home.
This just makes me sad and lose faith in humanity.

I guess that's why I liked the Avatar movie. It wasn't another one of those "humans good; everyone else bad" movies. Humanity's darker side wasn't glossed over. We need more movies like that, where humanity doesn't just fix its screwups by killing something else.
I know this sounds mean, but perhaps death was a better fate for him than merely surviving in a world of selfish assholes and mindless drones.

That's actually why I disliked it: good still won even when by all rights humanity should have kicked their asses and gotten that damn valuable mineral.
I was rooting for the soldiers to wipe them out, and was dissapointed when the movie made them lose.
Sometimes, being assholes are why we were able to survive and rise to power.
