VIDEO: Alexis Sanchez saves fan from police custody

Alexis Sanchez is back in Chile, and hundreds of supporters waited for the Arsenal forward at Santiago's international airport.

Police were in full force upon the superstar's arrival ahead of the Copa America, which will be hosted in Chile.

An excited supporter apparently broke through a barricade and was close to meeting her idol, until police stopped her just feet away.

Sanchez saw the distressed fan in police custody and ordered them to let her go. The adoring supporter quickly convinced Sanchez to pose for a picture and even snuck in a peck on the cheek.
