A man stood blindfolded on a pavement in Toronto, Canada, with two placards at his feet as part of a social experiment.
Written on the placards were the words: "I am a Muslim. I am labelled as a terrorist. I trust you. Do you trust me? Give me a hug."
The motive of the experiment was to "break down barriers and spread awareness about Islamophobia".
A heartwarming YouTube video shows numerous strangers coming forward with their arms outstretched.
