Luis Segura, a renowned bachata singer, was stabbed on the Avenida Paseo de los Reyes Católicos, near the former Cementos Colón factory. He is better known artistically as "El Añoñaito," and is credited as being one of the founders of the bachata music movement. His son told Hoy newspaper that his father was assaulted when he entered a slum area in pursuit of a dog he thought could be his lost dog. The assault occurred around 3 pm. He was interned in the nearby Clínica Cruz Jiminián, where medics say he will probably be released today. No internal organs were affected. Segura’s son said the assailants stole cash and jewelry estimated at RD$8,000 that his father had on him.
