What does put it down to empathy mean?
But being in a hurry isn't always a barrier to helping people. Tests carried out during morning rush hours produced almost as many positive results as those performed during off-peak hours. Gary Webber, 46-year-old British local government worker who helped gather up our papers during the London rush hour, put it down to empathy.
"You looked as if you were in a hurry. I was in a hurry. I thought, let's work together and get us both on our way"
What does the underlined phrase, put it down to empathy mean? What I know is put someone down means to criticize.
