I received eight stitches. The individual ran away, I don't know who the person is", says victim Ederaldo Tetzlaff. "It was terrible. It was the worst day of my life. I have no intrigue with anyone, I know everyone there. I no longer go out at night because I'm a certain age, I'm 80 years old, and this happened", adds the retiree. PM André Rocha reported that patrol teams located the man who carried out the stabbings and that he appeared to be in a state of panic. "He has no motivation, at first. Apparently, he was a person in an outburst, with disjointed speeches, and he couldn't say why he committed the crime", says the PM.
