A man was arrested on Wednesday (18th), suspected of attacking his own sister and niece in Candeias do Jamari, Rondônia. According to the Military Police, he attempted to hit both women with a hammer during a heated confrontation. Police were called to the scene around 5 PM, where the niece reported that the suspect was aggressive, kicking her and her mother in addition to attempting to assault them with the tool.

The man's sister corroborated her daughter's account to the officers, stating that the situation had escalated significantly. The police noted that both victims showed signs of aggression, and the situation could have become much worse had they not intervened. The suspect denied the accusations, claiming he did not throw any objects at them.

Subsequently, the man was arrested and taken to the Central of Flagrantes (DEFLAG) in Porto Velho for further proceedings. The G1 news outlet sought information from the State Department of Justice for more details regarding the incident, indicating the seriousness of this case and the enforcement of laws related to domestic violence and prior court orders.
