The journalist of the TN signal Osvaldo Bazán was the victim of a robbery this Wednesday night when leaving the channel, when a criminal broke the glass of one of the windows of the remis that took him home and took his cell phone.
"He came in the remise in Anchorena when he arrived at Perón, he stopped at the traffic light. Someone broke the glass of the window and took my cell phone, "he said from his Twitter account.
The episode of insecurity suffered by the writer also occurred in the vicinity of the Once station of the City of Buenos Aires. The attack involved the use of a blunt element by the thief.
"I almost didn't get that bar in my face, the glass exploded. Luckily, it was only the robbery," said the journalist through his social networks and once at home, since he no longer had his mobile.
Bazán clarified to his followers that he did not suffer injuries and was in charge of informing that, fortunately, the driver of the car that was carrying him was also unharmed.
"Luckily, it was just the robbery," he reflected before calming the concern of his followers, family and friends who, last night, tried to get more information when he had neither his cell phone nor the instant messenger WhatsApp.
This Thursday, before starting a new edition of the program "Just one more turn", in TN, Bazán tweeted again and published a photo of himself already in the studio with the message: "Luckily I was sitting away from the window, but with the bar my face would burst. Thank you for the messages."
Why a package of sandwiches was key for Osvaldo Bazán not to be injured in the assault
Then, already on the air, the driver, Diego Sehinkman, stopped the usual round of greetings and gave space to his partner to relate what happened.
"Last night when I left the channel, in the usual remis, we were going through a well-known place, then I found out, for this type of thing," Bazán began to recall the bad moment lived.
And he detailed: "At the exit of the tunnel of Anchorena Street, which passes under the tracks, when arriving at Perón Street, the traffic light was red. Mr. Remisero parked... He stopped, or rather, at the traffic light and I was sitting in the back, in the middle of the seat with my cell phone in my hand."
"Then," he added, "suddenly, with a bar someone broke the window, which exploded into a thousand pieces in my face practically. That man who broke the window got in through it, took my cell phone and ran away."
Before the attention of his companions, he said that it was "a very ugly moment" and that later he learned that this type of robbery "are quite common" in that Buenos Aires area "that is very unprotected, behind the Once station would be ... between the station and the Abasto area," he said.
Sehinkman reminded him that he was lucky not to get hurt, to which Bazán said that it was thanks to a package of sandwiches, which were on the side of the broken window, that served as a shield.
"I was lucky because I had a pack of sandwiches next to me for the Journalist's Day celebrations. I lost them because they were filled with glass, unfortunately," he said in a more relaxed tone.
"If it wasn't for them, the bar would have been much closer and the glass would have exploded in my face."
Finally, he recommended being "very careful" with cell phones.
"Before, when you went with the window down kangaroos came in, now even with the windows closed, be careful in this winter," he said, paused a little and finished with a humorous: "Besides now there is practically no exchange, I could not get [a phone] and I had to buy it. "
