In a heart-stopping incident last week, two heroic barbers from East Hartford, Connecticut, prevented a young child from running into the path of oncoming traffic. Osvaldo Lugo and Rafael Santana of Looks Sharp Barbershop were working when they noticed a child running toward the intersection of Brown and Main Street, a busy thoroughfare. Without hesitation, they rushed out of the store and chased after the child, scooping them up just before they reached the intersection. The barbers’ quick thinking and bravery averted a potentially tragic accident. One of the barbers shared their experience on Instagram, expressing their relief and emphasizing the importance of parental vigilance. It took Lugo several minutes to locate the child’s mother, who was unaware that her child had wandered away. The barbers’ actions have been lauded by the East Hartford Police Department, who commended them for their heroism and quick thinking. Despite his heroic deed, Lugo remains humble, stating that he was simply in the right place at the right time. However, his actions have undoubtedly made a lasting impact on the community, reminding us of the importance of keeping a watchful eye on young children.
