Tuohy took a couple of steps back from the impact while the fan fell flat on his back, before he jumped back to his feet and continued running to the centre of the field.
The Geelong defender noticed the spectator had dropped his wallet in the mayhem, picked it up and called after the fan.
His act of kindness was caught by stadium cameras and sparked an outpouring of praise from commentators.
