It is reported in Mexican press that Pulido was able to execute a phone call , and give an alert to his location. (emergency line 066)

BREAKING NEWS Mexican soccer star Alan Pulido has been rescued in Cd Victoria. At least one of his captors was wounded and has been arrested. In the video below, a reporter shots out to Alan asking how he is, despite looking shaken, he replies “fine, thank God”, he was transferred to the hospital for medical care.

Although authorities are patting themselves on the back….(yet another version) it is reported, is that Piludo, took advantage of a careless gunmen guarding him, and was able to take the gun away and shoot the gunman.  He then broke a window to escape, prompting a second guard to flee.  It was then he contacted authorities of his whereabouts.

In yet another account, Pulido did overpower the captor and took the gun, and began beating the kidnapper. He dialed the emergency number, police told him to shoot so they could locate his precise location, but there were no bullets in the gun.

Whatever happened, saving the footballer had nothing to do with authorities, even though they are trying to capitalized on the situation.

From the photo at top, and comparing it to a the party photo, it reveals scrapes on nose bridge, chest, arms and swollen and cut right hand, which is bandaged in the bottom photo.  He is wearing the same clothing he wore to the party, and when being abducted. But he looks in good physical condition.

Authorities are saying he was kidnapped by Los Zetas, but did not say if it was CDN or Old School Zetas.
