After taking the tumble, a car can be seen stopping to help him out of the channel. This is the kind of behaviour we expect to see towards a person with a disability.
While he was walking home after the fall, he was approached by two men who asked if he needed help getting home before one of the men grabbed him from behind while the other one unzipped his bag and stole his wallet and phone.
