Guarulhos, SP, Brazil - May 29, 2023

A civil guard and a criminal exchanged fire during an attempted robbery on Vera Street, in the Santa Mena neighborhood, in Guarulhos, in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, at 7:11 pm this Monday (29).

In images from the security cameras that Agência Record had access to, it is possible to see the moment when two suspects on a bike approached two people who were on another bike.

According to reporter Paola Vianna, the victims, the driver and the back of the bike, are civil guards. The criminals block the passage and the pillion points a gun, announcing the robbery. He gets off and runs towards the victims, who after being surrendered also get off the bike.

As the duo approaches, the bikers lets go of the bike, which falls on the street. One of the criminals tries to approach the man, but the victim runs in the opposite direction until he falls after stumbling.

The guard who had the backpack also runs out and falls on the corner of the street, meters ahead, after also losing her balance. The armed criminal approaches the fallen bike and tries to lift it, at which point the agent who was lying on the ground turns around, pulls out a gun and shoots in the direction of the assailant. The victim fires several shots at the suspect, who upon realizing it reacts and also shoots back. It is not possible to say if any of the men were hit by the shots. From another angle, it is possible to observe that after the victim's shots, the suspect runs with the intention of fleeing, while his accomplice flees on a bike, leaving him behind.

The victim is still trying to go after the suspect who fled on foot. The video ends moments later. Still in the images, it is possible to see that a third biker stops near the crime scene and observes. Police rule out the man's participation in the robbery attempt.
