Prosecutors in Goiás have charged a martial artist with the attempted murder of a 17-year-old boy in Goiânia. The incident, which occurred at Praça das Artes, reportedly stemmed from a dispute involving the suspect's son during a football match.

Witnesses reported that the suspect used his expertise in jiu-jitsu and muay thai to apply a chokehold on the teenager, causing him to lose consciousness and suffer convulsions. While the suspect claims he was merely immobilizing the youth, the Public Ministry of Goiás (MP-GO) has requested his arrest, citing a violation of a judicial order.
