A Cuban who was assaulted and then hit by a vehicle in Artemisa is recovering.

The young Jesús Lorenzo Ferro Vigoa, who was the victim of a motorcycle theft and was subsequently run over in San Cristóbal, Artemisa, last Sunday, is out of danger.

According to his uncle, Julio César Blanco González, in a Facebook post, Ferro is currently at his brother's house in Havana, waiting for a medical intervention according to the doctors' recommendations.

The incident took place on the highway bridge of the mentioned municipality, and in less than 24 hours, the police managed to recover the stolen motorcycle, it was reported.

Blanco, on behalf of the family, thanked all the people for their support, including some unknown individuals, and expressed his hope that the attacker will be captured soon and brought to justice.

Ferro, 25 years old, was the victim of a violent assault in which the attacker not only stole his motorcycle but also ran him over with it.

The events occurred last Sunday around 11 in the morning, in San Cristóbal, Artemisa, and the alleged aggressor and thief is named Mikelish Salgado and is from Candelaria, in the same province, reported on social media Julio César Blanco González, the uncle of the assaulted young man, whose name has not been revealed.

Blanco detailed the specifics of the incident in several Facebook posts, in which he has repeatedly warned that Salgado remains a fugitive somewhere in the area after fleeing on his victim's motorcycle.

"This is the story of a young man who, to feed his children, rides his motorcycle to give rental rides, always with his smile, which this murderous thief extinguished when he physically attacked him at 11 am to take his motorcycle and then ran over him," Blanco reported on Sunday.

"The young man is currently praying with serious injuries and has been sent to Havana. The murderer is named Mikeli Salgado. This happened in San Cristóbal, Artemisa; if you see him, call the police, he is fleeing."

In other posts shared in groups on the social network, he specified that his nephew "was making a living (with his motorcycle) to feed his little ones, one a few months old and the other three years old," and his attacker "hit him and ran him over" with the vehicle.

In Cuba, violent incidents involving the theft of electric motorcycles are common due to their high demand and the value they have acquired in the black market because of the scarcity of transportation.

In last August, five people, four men and one woman, were arrested in the Arroyo Naranjo municipality in Havana for violently stealing an electric motorcycle from a 72-year-old woman "who is looking to make some money by collecting bottles," as revealed by the official Facebook profile El Cubano Fiel.

The source reported that the elderly woman - apparently very active despite her age - was with her motorcycle in the La Palma taxi stand on the morning of this Thursday when a young woman rented it heading to the Eléctrico neighborhood, in the same municipality.

At the beginning of the month, the Cuban Rachel Zamora Ríos reported the theft of her motorcycle, an incident that occurred when she was dropping her daughter off at school.

The robbery occurred in front of the Ignacio Agramonte School, San José de las Lajas, the capital of the Mayabeque province. According to witnesses, the perpetrator was an older, thin man.
