VIDEO records fight between homeless people with machete in Asa Norte, DF

In the images (see the video above), one of the people appears running with a pet house in their hands. Next door, another person runs towards him and, during the chase, drops a machete on the ground.

The videos do not have sound recording and, therefore, it is not possible to know the reason for the fight.

In another recording made in the same location, a homeless person appears lying on the pilotis [ground floor] of a building. Then, two others approach and make her get up.

g1 contacted the Military Police (PMDF) and the Secretariat of Social Development (Sedes-DF) to request information about the case and actions aimed at the homeless population, but did not receive a response until the last update of this report.

The Pop Centers operate at two addresses: in Taguatinga and in the North Garages and Workshops Sector (SGON), both operating above capacity, according to a note from the DF Public Ministry.

The Government also provides an overnight service, known as a social hotel, opened in July 2025 with 200 nightly spaces.

➡️The court also demanded information from the government about reception actions carried out specifically in Asa Norte and Noroeste.

The DF has 3,521 homeless people, according to official data for January 2025.

This year, the DF also regulated involuntary hospitalization as a measure of last resort in situations of imminent risk to life.

The measure is the subject of questions from the Public Prosecutor's Office, which argues that hospitalization is exceptional and not used to compensate for deficiencies in the health and reception networks.
