According to witness reports, Antônio was walking along the road when he was surprised by two yet-to-be-identified men, who were carrying slats and began to attack him, hitting mainly the head and shoulder area. After the attack, the suspects fled the scene.

Even though he was injured, the victim managed to travel, with the help of members of the public, to his parents’ residence, located on Rua 25 de Outubro, in the same neighborhood. Family members called the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu), which sent a basic support ambulance.

Preliminary information collected at the scene indicates that the aggression may be related to an alleged “discipline” imposed by a criminal organization that operates in the region.
