In a concerning incident in Maceió, Brazil, a 51-year-old man was assaulted by a security guard at the Mix Mateus supermarket. Eyewitnesses reported that the guard, identified only as Luan, attacked the victim using a brass knuckles weapon, a tool designed to enhance the impact of a punch. The assault occurred on the night of Thursday, October 12, and was captured on video, showing the victim lying on the ground with head injuries while receiving medical attention from emergency services.

The victim's identity remains undisclosed, but he suffered significant injuries to both his head and face from the altercation. Following the assault, the Municipal Emergency Care Service (Samu) was called to the scene, and the victim was transported to the Hospital Geral do Estado (HGE) due to the severity of his wounds. Meanwhile, the supermarket’s communication team has been contacted for a comment on the incident, but as of yet, no official statement has been released.

The police have confirmed that the suspect fled the scene following the attack, and investigations are ongoing. This incident raises serious questions about security measures in public spaces and the use of excessive force by personnel meant to protect patrons. The community is likely to seek accountability from both the supermarket management and law enforcement regarding safety protocols in their establishments.
