Manaus (AM) - Last Wednesday (18) night was marked by the game between Flamengo and São Paulo, resulting in a 3 × 0 score for the tricolor during the Copa do Brasil game. But what was supposed to be a moment of relaxation ended up becoming a war field among fans who began to beat themselves brutally because of the result of the game.
The images that captured the moment of the beating show fans in front of one of the most traditional restaurants in Praça do Caranguejo, located in Conj. Elorado, in the Parque 10 de Novembro neighborhood, in the Center-South area of the city.
In the video it is possible to notice that the aggressions started between two men, clearly dressed in shirts from São Paulo and Flamengo. But soon after, the beating becomes widespread.
Within seconds, around 10 men are involved in the war zone and one of them even holds a knife in his hands. Still in the images, a woman, a companion of one of the fans, tries to break the fight by getting into the attackers.
Witnesses who were at the scene during the crime said the confusion started after Vasco da Gama fans started making fun of Flamengo fans because of the game's final score. Tables and chairs were used as instruments to enhance the blows that were made.
The military police were called in to control the situation, but when they arrived at the scene, they found no one else involved in the confusion.
