| [MIRROR.CO.UK] The Rio 2016 Olympic games have been rocked by more trouble after it emerged the Olympic security chief had been attacked after he left the opening ceremony. The Olympics security chief was attacked as he left the Games opening ceremony by a knife-wielding robber who was rubbed out by a cop. Felipe Seixas was walking to his car near the Maracanã Stadium early on Saturday when he was set upon by four men brandishing knives. A policeman with him shot one of the assailants dead and the others fled.
The security chief himself became a mugging target after committing 10,000 security forces to protect the extravaganza. | |
