The journalist had found herself in a spot of bother at the Emirates Tower Metro Station.
“My metro card was out of credit & I forgot my wallet. Bearing witness to my idiocy, this staff Superman topped me up out of his own $$ & wouldn’t accept any attempt to repay him later,” the journalist tweeted.
