“This man who is at the Micro 9 stop was stabbed. Please if there is anyone who knows him. "He says he is from Santa María, he is currently in the Provincial Hospital,"wrote on Facebook the Internet user Ángel Carmenate.
The source shared a photo in which an older man was seen sitting at the stop with a cane and with blood stains on one of his sides.
In the comments section of his publication, Ángel Carmenate explained that a police officer put him in an ambulance to the Saturnino Lora Hospital and that he had not heard anything else from the alleged victim.
“I only know that the man said he didn't want his daughter to know. “That worries me a lot.”, added the source.
In a Facebook story, Ángel Carmenate noted that the man was “disoriented” and reiterated that he had stab wounds in the abdomen and left arm.
A doctor identified as Arlenis San Luna Sánchez clarified in the comments section of the publication that the wounds were self-inflicted.
“When information of such magnitude is given, you must be sure of the facts. The Lord He was attended to in the early morning hours. Patient with a psychiatric history who has never received a knife attack”, he noted.
“Yes say thatHe himself reported, and it was corroborated by family members, that he provoked self-harm. Admitted at this time. With subsequent transfer to the province's Psychiatry Service.", he added.

Despite the clarification of the doctor - who according to her profile on social networks works at the Saturnino Lora hospital - a priori dozens of commentators did not doubt the possibility that the old man had been stabbed by another person, due to the marked increase in violence and gang activity in Santiago de Cuba, something recognized even by local authorities.
At the end of January, the Ministry of the Interior (MININT) recognized, during a meeting with residents of the Abel Santamaría (El Salao) neighborhood in Santiago de Cuba, thepresence of criminal gangs dedicated to "implementing terror" among the residents.
The authorities asked for a vote of confidence from those affected and sent a message to the criminals, warning them that they will be severely punished for the acts they have committed.
During the event, the case of the young David Enrique Perdomo Álvarez was specially mentioned,young 26-year-old lineman whose right hand was cut off by one of those gangs, an incident for which there are five detainees.
