A woman was taken hostage in front of the district court, in Brasilia yesterday by a knife wielding man.
The suspect repeated phrases like "they killed my family, I want a gun to kill myself".
He talked about killing himself and kill the hostage, a woman who looks to be about 25 years. She was at the bus stop when he took her hostage.
After about 30 tense minutes the military police used stun guns and rubber bullets to immobilize the man.
