"I never thought I would be in a situation like this, but I believe I handled it correctly: I just said I didn't have anything, they took it from me, I covered myself, and then they covered me. I was just praying that nothing happened to the people who were there (...) Thank God I was alone and not with my children or any family member," he added.

The assault took place on July 16th at around 6:00 PM in the district of La Perla, and according to the police report, the ex-footballer was robbed of 1500 soles.
