THE SPORT SCAN – While on vacation at his home in Uruguay, striker Luis Suarez found himself despite himself facing a man on the verge of suicide. After negotiations, the Inter Miami player managed to prevent it.
Luis Suarez is not about to forget his vacation in Uruguay. The country’s legend has swapped his football player costume for that of a negotiator. This Friday, January 3, the former Barça and Liverpool player witnessed a suicide attempt near his home. A man threatened to hang himself from a tree he had climbed into.
Present on the scene before the police, the Inter Miami player negotiated with the individual who demanded to see his ex-wife. After making him wait several minutes, the police arrived on site to take over and intercept him. The man in question was notably on trial in the context of a case of domestic violence against his ex-partner.
A member of an NGO, present on site to also dissuade the man, praised the footballer’s gesture on the channel Telenight : “Luis Suarez approached us and what we did, in this moment of tension, trying to speak with empathy and closeness so that this man did not prolong his action. »
