The dramatic incident unfolded during a routine day at LookSharp Barbershop when Osvaldo Lugo glanced out the window and noticed a small child wandering dangerously close to a busy intersection on Main Street. Reacting swiftly, he alerted his colleague Rafael Santana, and without a moment’s hesitation, the two sprang into action.
Abandoning their barbering tools, Lugo and Santana bolted out of the shop and raced down the street. They managed to intercept the toddler just in the nick of time, mere moments before he could have darted into oncoming traffic.
