A citizen intervened in an attempted robbery at Panadería Omar in Aguadilla’s Borinquen neighborhood, detaining the suspect, 57-year-old Hugo Mario Ruiz, through a civil arrest. The incident occurred at 11:00 AM, and the citizen, who was in the bakery, reportedly jumped on the assailant and struggled with him until he was subdued. The citizen suffered facial lacerations and bruises, while a bakery employee had a superficial cut on her left hand.
Both the citizen and Ruiz were taken to a hospital for medical attention. The case is being investigated by the Cuerpo de Investigaciones Criminales (CIC), with Agent Luis Pérez Badillo leading the investigation.
