The athlete thought it was a couple fighting and arrived to intervene. Upon discovering that the woman had been the victim of a robbery, he went after the robber.
He said,
I was coming back from training with my friends. We were talking on the way and I saw this guy sort of arguing with the girl. He gave a tug and took the cell phone from her hand. She sat on the floor crying and he got on his bike and left. I thought I had attacked and went back to flag the Maria da Penha law. I went after him. The woman said that he had assaulted her and I found him already running. We tripped him and pinned him on a kimura. I stayed with him with a rear naked choke and waiting. Guys wanted to hit him, but I warned them not to because he was in my custody. If something happens to him, he could say it was me. We waited for the police to arrive and the girl recognized him and retrieved his cell phone. She said he wasn’t a boyfriend, he really assaulted her.
The suspect was taken by the military police to a nearby police station to provide further clarification.
