HAVANA, Jan. 9 (Xinhua) -- A special Cuban police unit has apprehended two suspected robbers for the weekend attack and shooting of two-time world boxing champion Julio Cesar La Cruz, the Interior Ministry announced Thursday.
"Following an investigation, the special police unit arrested the perpetrators," the ministry said in a statement.
La Cruz, world champion at Baku in 2011 in the 81-kg category, and again at Almaty in 2013, was wounded by a gunshot in the early morning hours of Jan. 4 in the city of Camaguey, 570 km east of Havana, outside a recreational center.
La Cruz, who spent a night at the hospital before being discharged on Jan. 5 for recovering "favorably," was accompanied at the time of the attack by Leiner Pero, who is also a member of the Cuban national boxing team. Officials didn't say whether Pero was also injured in the incident.
