Two barbers who dropped everything to save a little girl from running into traffic say they are simply dads with lucky timing. Surveillance video posted to the Instagram account of Look Sharp Barbershop owner Osvaldo Lugo and his employee Rafael Santana shows the pair racing out of the establishment after a young girl who ran down the road by herself. Santana tells TODAY.com that he was cutting hair in the East Hartford barbershop when he saw a small pink reflection whiz by the window.
” “, I have a responsibility to this corner of the street,” he says. “When I grabbed her, she was yelling for her mom. I looked around and saw her mother at a bus stop ... around the corner.” Lugo walked the little girl back to her mother, who Lugo says seemed confused and shocked but grateful. Then, with their clients waiting, the men returned to the barbershop. East Hartford Mayor Connor Martin awarded Santana and Lugo with hero certificates.
