    Default an awkward phrase

    How would you translate the equivalent of "He stopped him dead in his tracks"?

    Gracias.

    I would say something like "lo paro en frio" or "lo puso en su lugar" these are close but not sure what else is out there for your sentence?

    No conozco lo paró en frío (no hay goolge hits) pero sí:

    lo paró en seco
