As the night fell over the bustling city of Bernal, near Buenos Aires, Argentina, Alejandro Poli hurriedly made his way across the street. Little did he know that he was being closely followed by a group of robbers, determined to make him their next victim.
Fearing for his safety, Alejandro darted into the foyer of a nearby building, hoping to find refuge. As he entered, he noticed a woman standing nearby, seemingly oblivious to the chaos unfolding around her. His heart raced as he watched one of the suspects stop at the door, only to eventually move away.
Feeling trapped and vulnerable, Alejandro's prayers were soon answered when a group of people emerged from a room on the ground floor. It was a karate class, happening to be in session at that very moment. One by one, the students filed out onto the street, ready to confront the robbers who had now fled the scene.
Reflecting on the terrifying ordeal, Alejandro later explained that he had been attending a union meeting in the building and was on his way to his vehicle at 9pm when the attempted robbery occurred. He recounted how he ran into the building, with the robbers hot on his heels, and waited in a corner while the brave karate class went out to search for the culprits.
In an interview with Radio FMQ, Alejandro described the moment he first realized something was amiss. "I was leaving the club and crossing the street to get to my truck. There were a few cars parked and I noticed that one of them had some lights on. At first, I thought it was someone from the club," he said. "But then, as I was getting into my truck, the doors of the car opened and someone shouted 'stop, police!' and started running towards me."
Feeling uneasy, Alejandro hesitated, but soon realized that the supposed "police" were actually the robbers in disguise. Without a second thought, he ran towards the safety of the nearby karate class, grateful for their quick thinking and bravery in coming to his defense.
