A dramatic scene suffered a surgeon this Tuesday morning when he arrived with his baby at the house of his in-laws in the Buenos Aires town of Villa Luzuriaga.
As he was getting his belongings out of the car, he was intercepted by thieves who threatened him with a gun.
The victim moved quickly and prevented them from escaping with the one-year-eight-month-old.
"Please,"
Cristian asked the criminals to let him rescue his son.
The exasperating episode, which was recorded on a security camera, occurred
on Thames Street, almost at the corner of Miguel Cané
, in said town of the La Matanza district, in the western area of Greater Buenos Aires.
Police spokesmen reported that the victim had arrived aboard a BMW brand car
to the house of her in-laws
to leave her son in their care.
Under these circumstances, three armed assailants got out of a white Peugeot Partner van and intimidated the man into delivering the car
in broad daylight and in a busy area
.
In dialogue with
Telenueve Central
, Cristian said that what "despaired" the most was that his baby was inside the car "because everything is so fast that the situation is shocking."
"The only thing I thought is that they take everything, and that was what I asked them,
'please let me get my son out of the car, he's a baby,'
" he said about the desperate request to the thieves.
