A 30-year-old Brazilian man was placed in pretrial detention after allegedly attacking an officer of the Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) during his detention in Barreiro. Prosecutors said the incident happened on 27 September 2026, after the suspect caused disturbances and police were called to the scene. When officers tried to detain him, the man allegedly advanced against one of the agents, hitting him in the face with an elbow and kicking his knee. The agent fell to the ground and suffered multiple injuries and body pains. After the arrest in flagrante delito, the suspect was taken for his first judicial questioning on 28 September. The court then ordered the coercive measure of pretrial detention. The investigation is led by the Barreiro section of the Departamento de Investigação e Ação Penal (DIAP) in Lisbon, with the PSP providing support.
