Recreación de situación real en la que no puedo mostrar lo que realmente ocurrió porque me quitarían el vídeo. En realidad el chico que salió de la discoteca se enfrentó a ellos y yo me tuve que meter también... La realidad, supera la ficción! Muchas gracias a todos los que me habéis ayudado con el vídeo! 🙏🏻❤️ #discoteca #fyp #foryou #viral #parati
