José María wanted to thank him

publicly through a message on his social networks: "Today, I had the pleasure of being able to

thank

Octavi in ​​person for saving me ( literal) life. If he had not been at the right time and in the right place,

I probably would not be here.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Octavi. And thanks to the teenager for not having hesitated to

offer his sweatshirt.

(Which I hope he had could be washed and can continue using)".

In fact, the Urban Police have highlighted that the actor's

quick action

saved the victim's life, since, in these cases, every minute counts. "He asked if anyone had anything with which he could

stop the bleeding

and a teenager who was in the area quickly offered his sweatshirt. Octavi

pressed hard

on the cut on the neck with the sweatshirt to stop the bleeding and gain maximum time. Thank you. Thank goodness, after a few minutes the urban guard arrived, who assisted me following Octavi's instructions and later

For his part, Pujades has also remembered this moment: "There was not a day in which he did not ask me

what had happened to him;

every day he passed by Diagonal and saw the shadow of the

blood stain on the asphalt.

We met,

"We have hugged each other

and toasted second chances and what really matters.

Long life, José María.

You deserve it."

Likewise, the actor has taken the opportunity to talk about the importance of having first aid knowledge: "How important it would be

for us all to be trained in first aid

to respond in these situations", since thanks to his maneuver, the actor has saved the life to a person.
