“I was attacked, I had stitches on my head, it still hurts a lot but all of that is very sad to know that Juiz de Fora seems to be deserted. The phone is covered in blood, everything is stained, my pants are covered in blood, I don’t know if you can see. The magnitude of the aggression suffered is still sinking in me. I don’t want to suffer that anywhere in the country,” he said.
After the attack, Gustavo was taken to the Hospital de Pronto Socorro Dr. Mozart Teixeira, where he was treated and discharged. In the publication he thanked the hospital, the military police (PM) and the fire department. “I want to thank you all,” he concluded.
