Singer Ana Gabriel found out about what happened when she saw a video circulating on social media showing the moment Saúl was attacked by the man at his hot dog stand. She reached out to him.
“She told me that she wanted more information about me. Previously, another person had contacted me asking me questions, asking me for information,” said Saúl. He said that he was afraid of being attacked again, so he was suspicious.

The hot dog vendor confirmed to the source that Ana Gabriel personally called him and said she felt bad about what happened at her concert. She also offered to pay his medical expenses.
