In a shocking incident captured on security cameras, a 72-year-old man was violently assaulted during a robbery in Hortolândia, São Paulo. The event took place on Tuesday morning when the victim was walking along the street with a bag in his hand. The footage reveals how the assailant approached the elderly man, who attempted to resist, only to be pushed and beaten by the attacker before the ring was stolen.

The assault occurred on Rua São Luiz in the Jardim Nova Europa neighborhood, indicating a concerning level of street crime in the area. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the assailant's quick and aggressive actions left the victim with little chance of defending himself. As in many similar cases, the video evidence may aid local law enforcement in identifying and apprehending the criminal, although as of now, he remains at large, and the stolen ring has not been recovered.

The victim's wife has reported that her husband is currently receiving treatment at the Hospital Mário Covas. This incident not only highlights the vulnerability of elderly individuals in public spaces but also raises questions about public safety in Hortolândia. Community members are likely to demand increased security measures to prevent such violent crimes in the future, as the community seeks answers about how to protect its residents from similar threats and ensure justice is served to the victim.
