Remarkable details have begun emerging surrounding how Mexico international footballer Alan Pulido escaped from kidnappers earlier this week.
The Olympiacos forward was snatched by an armed and masked gang on Saturday night just after having lunch with his girlfriend. She was released unharmed, but Pulido was kept and fears began to grown among the footballing community.
Thankfully, the 25-year-old managed to escape yesterday and now we know exactly how he managed to fight off his captors. According to Mexican news outlet Proceso, Pulido waited until his armed guard wasn't looking, stole his gun, shot him, took his cell phone, escaped through a window he broke himself and called the cops.
