4-year-old girl held hostage by her own father in her room is rescued by BOPE in SC; man was arrested

The incident began on Saturday night (17), in the Itajuba neighborhood, after a family fight. The suspect allegedly attacked his own mother, a 62-year-old woman, and then locked himself in the room with his daughter. Garrisons tried to negotiate a peaceful exit, but the suspect refused dialogue.

Given the risk, BOPE was called in to conduct the negotiations. During the process, the police managed to maintain verbal contact with the child and confirmed that she was at the scene. Even after hours of conversation to try to voluntarily surrender, the suspect refused to leave the scene.

At around 2:30 am this Sunday (18), a tactical team entered the room, contained the suspect and removed the girl from the scene.

The girl was rescued without apparent injuries, received first aid from emergency teams at the scene and was handed over to her mother. The man was arrested for kidnapping, false imprisonment and bodily harm in the context of domestic violence, and was taken to the police station.
