Earlier this week, we saw grisly images of a man just moments removed from fending off a bear attack<\/a>. Today, the grisliness continues, as pro wrestling star turned mixed martial artist Alberto Del Rio (nee\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Alberto Rodr\u00edguez) says he recently fended off a knife attack \u2013 and shared images of the injuries he sustained in the process.<\/p>\n

Del Rio detailed this horrific attack in a post on his Instagram page. His statement read as follows:<\/p>\n

“Mr. Rodriguez (\u201cAlberto El Patron\u201d) shortly after eating a meal before his flight was assaulted by a criminal <\/em>with a knife outside the restaurant. Mr. Rodriguez suffered multiple lacerations on his arm and other parts of his body defending against the criminal as Police were called by witnesses. Mr. Rodriguez received medical attention and went back to the Police Department and was unable to make his flight.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The statement also explained that Del Rio would not make a scheduled appearance in Mexico, and shockingly, that he plans to compete in the United Kingdom this weekend in spite of his injuries.<\/p>\n

“Mr. Rodriguez has spoken with the ownership of Lucha Libre AAA WorldWide and given them documentation of the incident. Mr. Rodriguez greatly regrets not being there yesterday for his fans in Mexico and promises to everyone he will make this up as soon as possible. Despite the graphic lacerations, Mr. Rodriguez will not miss any of his shows for the remainder of the year and is ready to compete this weekend in the UK.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Del Rio also shared images of the injuries he sustained as he fended off his attacker. See those below \u2013 but be warned, they’re GRAPHIC.<\/p>\n
