A siege was mounted and the car was found. The suspect was arrested hours later, on Rua Floriano Sodré, in the Imbariê neighborhood, in Duque de Caxias, after exchanging gunfire with police officers during an escape attempt.

"He got in the passenger compartment, but I opened my door right away. He wanted me to go with him, for me to drive. The car was still off. I started screaming for help. He said something like: 'Do you want to die? I'm going to kill you'. I fought with him inside the car, I threw myself out of the car. At that moment, I managed to get the cell phone, I threw the device under the car, I was dragging myself, he pulled my hair. He wanted to throw me in the car and take me with him." reported the presenter.
