A mayoral debate in the Brazilian city of São Paulo took a shocking turn when one of the candidates, José Luiz Datena, attacked his rival, Pablo Marçal, with a chair. The incident, which was captured on video and broadcast live, has sparked outrage and raised concerns about the escalating tensions in the political arena.
The altercation occurred during a heated exchange between Datena and Marçal, with Datena swinging a chair at Marçal, causing injuries that required hospital treatment. Datena later explained that he was provoked by Marçal bringing up old sexual harassment allegations that had been dismissed years ago, leading to a moment of intense confrontation.
