Tim Smits was late for work. It was 10.30am on September 11, 2011, and the Melbourne-born graphic artist had been running to catch the bus that usually took him across town to his East London studio. He found a seat towards the back and caught his breath. Then everything changed. At the front of the bus three young hoods hassled a young, pregnant mother with a pusher. She had just got on and they wouldn’t let her pass. When she got off at the next stop three elderly women got on. The youths menaced them, too, and no one, including the bus driver, seemed to be coming to their defence. Smits decided to act. It was a decision that changed his life forever.
