Rio Olympic 2016
An Olympic boxer has been arrested on suspicion of attempted rape after he is accused of sexually attacking two Brazilian chambermaids.
The athlete, named as Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada, was detained earlier this morning, just hours before the Rio 2016 opening ceremony.
Police officers from the Recreio police station apprehended the athlete following the alleged attack on Wednesday.
The boxer will now no longer compete in the games.
Police chief Eduardo Ozório said the athlete had been detained after his officers had gathered evidence.
