Is a Person Less Human Just Because He's Homeless?

I was waiting for the train to go home from work yesterday. Suddenly, this woman standing nearby ran towards the stairs. As I looked towards the direction she was running to, I saw a homeless person on the floor on his knees. He must have tripped and fallen. The woman, who was well dressed in office attire, did not hesitate to help this man get up. I went over to them to offer some assistance. Most of the people there, however, didn't bother to do anything at all. I was just wondering, "Were they afraid?" Or was it because they considered it beneath their "dignity" to get their hands or neat clothes dirty by touching this homeless man? I'd like to pose this question to those people, "Is a person less of a human being than your or I, just because he's homeless or poor?"
