State officials: Alan Pulido fought off kidnapper
State officials say Mexico striker Alan Pulido took away a kidnapper's phone and pistol by force before facilitating his own rescue.
Alan Pulido fought off a captor, wrestling away the man's phone and pistol, state officials said Monday after the Mexico striker was rescued from his kidnapping.
Pulido was abducted by four men Saturday night in Ciudad Victoria, Mexico, setting off an ordeal that ended with Tamaulipas state officials confirming his rescue early Monday morning. The abductors had asked for a ransom but none was paid.
Speaking on Mexico's Imagen Radio, state prosecutor Ismael Quintanilla said Pulido found himself isolated with a kidnapper before taking the man's phone.
