This introduces a new person in the story without giving his name. We know only that he was from Samaria. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-participants)

a certain Samaritan

The Jews despised the Samaritans and would have assumed that he would not help the injured Jewish man. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
