Cayetano will not fight in Burgos this Tuesday after being arrested by the police.

Cayetano will not fight in Burgos this Tuesday after being arrested by the police.

Cayetano will not be able to say goodbye to Burgos , where he was announced this Tuesday, along with Emilio de Justo and Tomás Rufo , who was replacing a convalescent Marco Pérez, to kill a bullfight in Núñez del Cuvillo, after being involved in a commented incident with the police.

The bullfighter was arrested early Monday morning at a fast-food restaurant for "resistance and disobedience" to the police, according to Aplausos. He was released around 7:30 a.m., but will not be able to participate in the bullfight at the Coliseum.

Rivera posted a statement on social media to clarify what happened in response to the news reports, citing "the need to clarify that at no time did I engage in or participate in any act of aggression toward law enforcement officers."

The bullfighter's message is as follows:

"I deeply regret that unfounded versions are being spread about events that, in no way, occurred as has been suggested. I also want to express my respect for the law enforcement agencies, whose work I value and acknowledge.

That's why I ask for discretion and responsibility when addressing this matter, especially given the potential impact it could have on both a personal and institutional level. What I regret most is not being able to be in Burgos tomorrow and bid farewell to its fans. Thank you.
