A security camera captured a troubling scene in Guarulhos, Brazil, where a 20-year-old woman was brutally attacked by her ex-boyfriend inside an elevator on Avenida Salgado Filho. The incident occurred last Monday, and the footage reveals the victim attempting to escape her aggressor by entering the elevator, only to be pursued and assaulted. The man can be seen delivering numerous punches to the woman, who ultimately falls to the ground as he continues the attack.
The assault was interrupted when another woman arrived at the scene and intervened, preventing the man from inflicting further harm.
