VIDEO: armed man climbs into car during funk dance on Children's Day in Sorocaba

The party had initially been organized by residents as a celebration of Children's Day, with the installation of inflatable toys on public roads.

Images recorded by residents show Rua Santo Dias da Silva and Rua Professor Jorge Carvalho de Moraes completely taken over by regulars and equipped with large sound structures. According to witnesses who preferred not to be identified, the inflatable toys were used as a pretext to block the track and free up space for the "street flow", which lasted until midnight.

"They put one, two toys, close the road just to say it's for the children and then the dance continues all day", said a resident who preferred to remain anonymous.

In a statement, the Military Police reported that they sent teams from the Tactical Force and Rocam to the location after receiving calls for disturbing the peace and blocking roads. During the attempt to clear the street, the police heard gunshots and threw chemical ammunition bombs to control the patrons.

Until the last update of this report, the identification of the man who appears armed in the video or the seizure of weapons related to the case had not been disclosed.
