Video shows fight between municipal guards and a group of people in Búzios

A video circulating on social media depicts a widespread altercation involving municipal guards and a group of individuals in Búzios, Brazil, following an incident related to illegal parking.

A recent incident in Armação dos Búzios, Brazil, has gained attention after a video surfaced on social media showing a confrontation between municipal guards and a group of people. The altercation occurred near the Trevo do Ceceu area in the Manguinhos neighborhood on Saturday, October 14. According to the municipal guard, the conflict arose after guards identified a vehicle parked illegally and tried to address the situation with the driver, who responded with verbal abuse.

The municipal guard reported that after informing the driver of the irregular parking, the situation escalated when the driver refused to comply and began to insult the officers. This incited further disobedience and physical aggression from bystanders who were accompanying the driver, leading to a chaotic scene captured on video. However, the municipal guard noted that the recordings circulating online only depict a fragment of the events, lacking context of the guards' actions.

In response to this incident, the municipal guard has clarified that the case is being handled by the appropriate authorities.
