Namibian boxer Jonas Junius has been arrested in Rio in connection with an attempted sexual assault of an Olympic Village housekeeper, according to Al Jazeera's Gabriel Elizondo.

Junius, 22, was Namibia's flag-bearer during the opening ceremony. Police reportedly told Elizondo that Junius allegedly tried to force himself on a housekeeper in the athlete village.

As Elizondo notes, Junius is the second Olympic boxer to be arrested on allegations of sexual assault. Last week, Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada was arrested after an alleged sexual assault of two housekeepers in the Olympic Village.
