Police officer calms elderly robbery victim with piano serenade.
A police officer in Valencia, Spain, found a heartwarming way to turn a moment of terror into one of solace and peace for an 84-year-old woman.
The incident happened on June 8 in Valencia. The victim was 84 years old.
Officer Cesar Raro played Amelie’s soundtrack on the piano. Footage was recorded by his partner, Jorge Gonzalez. The video showed him with his back turned while he played the piano, while Gonzalez recorded and the woman wrote Raro a poem.
Local news outlets reported the victim was in a “great state of nervousness” after someone dressed in black attempted to rob her.
“The woman was very nervous; she could barely stand at times. When I saw the acoustic piano, I got excited. The topic came up, and I told her ‘if you are willing, I would really be delighted’. At the end I started playing, and the reaction was spectacular, she started crying,” Raro told Storyful.
