Richardson then began handing his clothes and pairs of shoes to the man before driving away.

The TikTok video was captioned: "I don't know this young man but he deserves to go viral."

As of Sunday, the 17-second video had gained more than 5.4 million views and 1.1 million likes. Users said the act of kindness gave them "goosebumps."

"And he did this thinking no one was watching/recording … that's how it's done folk," one person wrote.

Richardson, a senior at Florida A&M University, told WTXL that he was in the process of moving and decided to give his belongings to someone in need instead of selling them.

"As I was growing up, my mom always taught me there's a lot of people that are in need," Richardson told the outlet. "Not everyone's blessed as I am. My mom always had clothes and shoes on my back. I can definitely take that for granted. Anything can be gone in the blink of an eye."
