In Volta Redonda, Rio de Janeiro, a 27-year-old man was apprehended by local police after reportedly assaulting his cousin and aunt over a family dispute. The incident occurred on Rua Érica Berbet in the neighborhood of Três Poços and was prompted by allegations of domestic violence. Authorities received notifications about possible bodily harm against women, resulting in police intervention at the scene, where a broader family altercation was taking place.

The police confirmed that upon arrival, they found a chaotic situation involving multiple family members. A 21-year-old woman, who identified herself as the suspect's cousin, informed the officers that both she and her mother, aged 47, had been attacked by the suspect after discussions about participating in carnival festivities together. Following the chaos, the assailant was taken into custody, and the other involved parties were interviewed and subsequently released.

This case highlights concerns about domestic violence and family conflicts that may escalate into more serious situations. Local authorities emphasized the importance of addressing such incidents through dedicated units like the Delegacia Especializada de Atendimento à Mulher (Deam), which focuses on cases of violence against women, ensuring that victims receive the necessary support and that perpetrators are held accountable for their actions.
