“Five ⁤boys, four got out (of a car) with firearms, very violently. They moved the door, they opened my daughter’s door, ⁤they started to pull on it, hit⁤ me. ​The only ⁢thing I did was look at my daughter,⁢ see that she was fine, that she ⁤got out ⁢of the car quickly,” the athlete recalled to T13.

Along with this, Abarza made‍ a call to restore his wheelchair, explaining that “he has special ⁢measures. It only works for me and my sport, ultralight and carbon. I really hope they can return it to me. The car doesn’t ​matter⁢ to me.”
