A man prevented a 3-year-old child from being hit in front of a commercial establishment in Puebla, Mexico. Merchant Luis Enrique Cruz ran to the girl, who had left the supermarket heading toward a busy avenue, and threw himself to pull her out of the path of a car.
The moment was captured by a security camera on Sunday (6), around 2 PM. In the footage, it is possible to see the girl running out of the supermarket "El Rey del Ahorro" toward the street, while her parents try, unsuccessfully, to stop her.
Upon noticing the child's movement, an employee who was restocking merchandise ran after her and managed to reach her just before she was hit by a car traveling on the avenue.
Luis Enrique Cruz said he acted on instinct when he saw the dangerous situation. The merchant's heroic act was widely shared on social media, where the video of the moment went viral.
