An off-duty police officer in civilian attire was the target of an attempted robbery while waiting for a ride along the Raposo Tavares Highway in West São Paulo.

When the suspect demanded his belongings, the officer complied but then drew his weapon and fired ten shots, fatally striking the attacker. The incident occurred over the past weekend in the area.

Surveillance footage captured the tense moment when the officer—who was waiting for an app-based ride to get to work—first handed over his possessions before launching into repeated gunfire.
