In Guarujá, São Paulo, a 34-year-old waiter was stabbed by a 31-year-old customer named Carlos Alberto Alves de Souza Junior at a bar and restaurant during the early morning hours of Carnival. The incident occurred at Tepisco, located at Balneário Cidade Atlântica, where the customer, visibly intoxicated and agitated, initiated a confrontation. Witnesses recount that the waiter was simply performing his duties of cleaning a table next to the customer when the altercation escalated.

Witnesses, including the bar's security personnel, observed the situation unfold and reported that, after a heated discussion, the customer drew a knife and attacked the waiter. Following the assault, the assailant fled the scene but was apprehended by the police shortly thereafter. The motive for the stabbing remains unclear as witnesses were unable to provide an explanation for the argument that led to the violent act.

This incident highlights the rising concern over violence in public venues, particularly in areas that experience an influx of visitors during celebratory periods like Carnival. It underscores the need for heightened security measures in bars and restaurants to ensure the safety of both staff and patrons, especially in environments where alcohol consumption can lead to aggressive behavior.
