A 72-year-old woman, identified as Alair Barbosa, died after being pushed during a robbery on a street near Copacabana beach, in Rio de Janeiro. The case took place on Sunday the 16th and the assault took place as the assailant snatched a rope that the victim was wearing.

According to the newspaper The day, a 17-year-old teenager was singled out by bathers as responsible for the crime. He was taken by police from 19th BPM (Copacabana) to 12th DP (Copacabana), but he denied being the attacker.

The two people who were with Alair said they were unable to recognize whether he was the author of the theft, just as the witnesses did not want to go to the police station. Therefore, the young man ended up being released by the agents.

The elderly woman was taken unconscious to the Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital in Gávea and did not resist. The investigations of the Civil Police continue on the case.
