ENGELWOOD — Officer Cem Duzel, a Colorado Springs Police officer injured in the line of duty last year, finally got a visit from his hero.
WWE star John Cena visited Duzel and his family at their home in New York.
Earlier this week Duzel was moved to New York, his home state, while he continues his recovery.
He'll continue his rehabilitation there for the next few months.
Remember those posts of a John Cena figurine showing up around the police station, encouraging the @WWE star to visit Officer Duzel in person? Well, it finally happened! Earlier today, @JohnCena, who is Officer Duzel's hero, visited him in NY! More info 👉 https://t.co/ADQIK4YMuF pic.twitter.com/fiWsUVqtLc
