Mariners shortstop Jean Segura recounted in an Instagram post Thursday how he was allegedly assaulted and robbed by cops in his native Dominican Republic, writing: “Today it’s me, tomorrow it will be another ballplayer.”
The post, written in Spanish, explains how the 27-year-old was stopped by armed officers, who hit him and threw him to the ground before taking his belongings and crashing into his vehicle.
The photo shows the officers wearing hats that read “DICAN,” which is the country’s anti-narcotics division.
The shortstop is entering his second season with Seattle.
