Overview
- The police motor officer, Cabo Pablo Luna, spotted an immobile child on the rails in Villa Los Galpones and pulled him clear as a freight train approached late Monday morning.
- The engineer’s urgent horn blasts drew the officer’s attention, and a locomotive camera recorded the split‑second grab that likely prevented a fatal strike.
- The boy’s mother, Paola, said she was making breakfast when she heard the horn and later thanked the officer, describing her shock as she held her only child after the rescue.
- Governor Martín Llaryora praised the action, and Córdoba’s security minister told Clarín the officer will be decorated and promoted for his response.
- Police said they were guarding the track to deter debris throwing or attempts to halt trains, a routine duty in neighborhoods where homes sit just meters from the line.
