The Civil Police informed that the aggressor was arrested and booked in flagrante delicto for the crimes of bodily injury, injury due to prejudice and ideological falsehood.

The agency reported that the doorman of the building was also indicted for failing to provide assistance.

According to the agency, the attacker was accused of ideological falsehood for having identified himself as an Air Force doctor for Victor.

Ricardo Brajterman, one of the lawyers representing the actor, posted on social media about the case: “We are adopting all appropriate legal measures in the civil and criminal spheres. This barbaric crime will not go unpunished. It’s all nonsense, the criminal’s brutality and the porter’s omission.”

Willingness to fly this criminal, but violence cannot be solved with violence, we demand JUSTICE NOW! And the doorman needs to be PUNISHED TBMMMM.”

Singer Pepita also posted about the case: “I think it’s funny that there are people who say it’s “mimimi”… I don’t know what angers me more, the guy knocking or the doorman sitting around doing nothing! NOTHING justifies aggression people, I’m here angry. All my affection to Victor! Unfortunate.”
