But after bagging all the stolen cash, they are believed to have tried to kidnap a nine-year-old boy, who was saved by an enraged and desperate father who fought with the men to defend the youngster. CCTV footage captured the nightmare, where one of the alleged thieves is seen exiting into the courtyard while dragging the boy along. But the boy’s brave dad – named as 38-year-old Agustin by local media – rushed out after them and tackled one of the men. Fierce fighting ensued as the two rolled on the ground punching each other – when the family dog joins in and bites the alleged attacker. After the fight, the alleged criminals fled the scene on foot, leaving behind the boy who was rescued by his father. Agustin said: “It was almost a half hour of pure nightmare. “They used violent language and movements. “They knew what they were doing, they are dedicated to this. “I don’t think they wanted to kill us, but to scare us. “I gave them everything I had. But when they were about to leave, they grabbed one of my sons, who was still tied up, and I could not contain myself. “I have no idea how I managed to get out of the restraints, but the moment I saw my son being taken away, I lost track of everything”. After a brief chase, the police arrested one of the alleged criminals: a 21-year-old man from the city of Cordoba, according to local media. Part of the stolen goods and a .22 calibre revolver were retrieved. The other man involved is still at large, according to local media reports. While no one was injured and they were able to recover what was stolen, the family remains very shocked and claimed they were left very traumatised by the incident.
