Mala Cana from hospital: Everything reported to police
The singer says three men waited for her in Devojacki Bunar and one let a dog loose. She is now on a surgical ward, and doctors are weighing an operation.
Singer Mala Cana spoke out from a hospital on October 14 and told Telegraf and Kurir that people and a dog attacked her. She is currently on a surgical ward. She did not name the hospital.
Everything known about the attack comes from her alone. There is no official confirmation from police or the hospital.
What does Mala Cana say happened?
By her account, she was attacked twice. First a young man attacked her, and two days later three men waited for her on a shortcut through the woods in Devojacki Bunar. They stopped a car, and one of them brought out a dog. The dog left her with deep wounds, scratches and large bruises on her leg.
She described the attack to Telegraf like this:
“First by one guy, and then the three of them waited for me in Devojacki Bunar.”
Kurir reached her by phone in her hospital bed and asked about the date. The attack dates to October 11. She says she heard insults even while the dog was biting her:
“When the dog bit me there, they cursed at me, they said insulting things to me.”
After the attack she went to stay with her godparents in Pancevo. Her leg was treated surgically, she is receiving injections and goes in for dressing changes. Footage of the injuries has since reached the public.
Why did she end up in the hospital?
The leg is not the reason for her current stay. She was admitted to the surgical ward with severe abdominal pain and difficulty breathing.
She told Telegraf:
“I’m in the hospital. I’m on the surgical ward, waiting to see what the doctors will do next.”
She came in to have her leg dressed, but felt ill. She fell asleep on a bench in the waiting room and woke up in a hospital room. She says they won’t let her eat, “as if they’re preparing an operation.” The doctors, by her account, have not decided yet.
She told Kurir:
“This happened on the 11th, and right now my stomach and belly hurt, I simply can’t believe what people are capable of.”
And she added: “The doctors are considering an operation. They’re still undecided.”
Did she report the attack to police?
Yes, she says. She told Telegraf:
“Everything has been reported to the police. It has all gone too far. The thing with the leg is done, I’m getting injections, I go for dressing changes”
What police have done and whether anyone is a suspect does not appear in the available statements. The men she mentions are not named, so every claim about them stands as her alleged version of events.
This is not the first time in recent days that Mala Cana has been in the spotlight. We have written about her dispute with Jovana Jeremic over the national pension. In her statements from the hospital, she does not link the attack to that dispute.
She also spoke about support. She told Kurir that her mother is with her and that her godparents are there too.
