It's not what you think

Today, I helped an elderly woman carry her suitcase down a flight of stairs. When I got to the bottom, a man tackled me to the ground thinking I was stealing the woman's luggage. As I lay in pain, he ran up the stairs to return the suitcase and the poor woman had to carry it down on her own. FML

Don't even attempt to help her cross the road then. You may not live through the experience.

well technically an unpunished deed does go good because it is a deed you are not punished for.

Sadly, both. Especially simultaneously.

If the old lady was still up the stairs why did the man not think the suitcase was yours? And could the lady not, at some point yell out, "hey, he is helping me, not stilling from me"?

OK, replace "he" with "she". Now, what's #2?

Also, since the lady wasn't yelling for help or looking distressed, why assume it was being stolen? I would assume OP was the lady's neighbour or family member and was helping her out, if not that the suitcase belonged to OP herself.

No stilling. She was refining the alcohal out of the suitcase.

Sometimes I wonder why some people are so paranoid they feel the need to instantly tackle people... I don't think you're going to be moving very fast carrying luggage. So why not just confront you instead of resorting to violence?

No, actually the lady should have told him he made a mistake, then make him carry the bag and help the OP after apologizing for being a well-intentioned idiot.
