The aggression took place last Friday (16), while Lenirge Alves de Lima, 50, was washing the sidewalk in front of a building in the Lourdes neighborhood, in the Center-South region of BH.

Security camera footage captured the moment the man tried to cross the sidewalk. There was an argument and then the attacker violently took the hose from the woman’s hands and left her soaking wet. Lenirge still fell and got hurt (look above).
