The incident took place at the back of an external parking lot at Terraço Shopping, in Octogonal, in 2021. But it was only last Thursday that the video went viral.
The man succumbed to his injuries and ended up dying during the action. In the video, it is possible to see the police trying to contain the suspect using tear gas, but it does not have the expected effect. Even with one of his legs shot, he continued to advance and threaten the military police with a knife.
In the images, it is possible to see him attacking one of the police officers, then he is shot and falls to the ground. In the video, you can hear the police asking for the Fire Department to provide assistance, but despite being injured, the boy reacts and manages to stab one of the police officers in the leg.
According to information provided by the victim's parents at the time, his psychotic episode had already lasted three days.
