Paramedics arrived quickly and treated the woman, who is diabetic, with glucose to stabilize her blood sugar levels.
Reflecting on the incident, Leandro said: “I think it was fate that I called there that day. I wasn’t down to work, but I swapped shifts. I’m just happy that I was there and saved her.”
