The generous act happened at the Freehold Raceway Mall in Monmouth County around 1:20 p.m. and was captured in a video by Sarah Mostafa who was waiting in line at a Starbucks on the first floor when she heard a commotion.

“Some people thought it was confetti, and then they took a closer look, like, ‘Wait, that’s actually money,’” Mostafa told NJ Advance.

After emptying the bag of cash, the man waved and walked away.

“Afterward, he just left. It was like a little Santa Claus moment,” Mostafa said.

Mostafa stayed in line at Starbucks instead of trying to catch some falling bills.

“I figured if somebody really needs it, they would go get it,” she said.

A woman next to Mostafa in line at Starbucks told her the man “does this a few times a year on holidays.”

“Apparently he just likes to give away money,” Mostafa said.
