A man in Cerquilho, Brazil, has been arrested for allegedly stalking and threatening his neighbor with death.

In Cerquilho, São Paulo, a man was arrested on suspicion of stalking and threatening a neighbor's life. The arrest took place on the morning of September 4, after the woman reported to the police that the suspect had been terrorizing her for several months, claiming to have had feelings for her since adolescence.

The victim described the threats as frequent, prompting her to call the Military Police. Upon their intervention, the suspect was apprehended and taken to the local police station for processing.
