A homeless man, who found £1,700 while on a train, has honourably handed over the sum to the police.

Hadjer Al-Ali was collecting bottles and empty cans on a carriage when he made the discovery.

Despite his personal situation, the 33-year-old didn’t think twice about handing the money over.

He received a £42 gift card as gratitude from the police for returning the cash.

“Even though I am homeless, I believe in doing good, so I gave the money to the police.

“Being homeless doesn’t mean I am a bad person.

“I had to give it back because it’s not my money and you never know if the person needs it for a sick child or grandmother or something else important.

“That’s why I returned it.

“The police gave me a €50 gift card for being a good human being.

“I’m happy because I did something good for the universe. The universe will pay me back!”
