Cuban singer-songwriter Ray Fernández said he was assaulted in Havana. According to his account, he lost several teeth and suffered fractures to his face and skull, injuries he described when discussing what happened. The available information does not establish the date, identify possible assailants or detail the circumstances of the attack. His testimony focuses on the physical consequences and his reaction to the episode.

Fernández placed the assault two blocks from his home near the Centro Vasco in Havana’s Vedado district. That reference provides an approximate point in the city but not an exact address or description of the specific location. His account also does not explain how the attack began, whether anything was stolen or what may have motivated it; those details do not appear in the information shared.

Fernández communicated his version in a conversation with a musician. In that exchange, he wrote that he had been assaulted, mentioned the loss of his teeth and the fractures, and expressed determination in the face of the situation. That message provides the first-person description accompanying the report, but it does not add details about the sequence of the attack or allow it to be reconstructed.

Regarding the location, the singer-songwriter said the incident occurred two blocks from his home near the Centro Vasco in Vedado. The reference gives an approximate location within Havana but no specific address. The circumstances of the attack are also not described, so the account does not establish why it occurred or what happened immediately before or after it.

The episode is known here through the statement attributed to Fernández and the details he gave about his injuries and the place where he says the assault occurred. The date, identity of the attackers and other particulars are not provided. The material therefore supports reporting, with attribution, his statement that he was a victim, the injuries he described and the approximate location he identified.
