A Good Samaritan has helped a homeless blind man to replace a guide stick stolen by a cruel thief.

Rough sleeper ‘Lee’ was alone outside The Co-Op in Piccadilly Gardens when a callous thug swiped his stick and ran off while pretending to be blind.

The 34-year-old, who does not want to be identified and is using an alias, was left distraught after the shocking incident.
