The bad-smelling homeless man who was filmed being beaten up after he was dragged from a car by the irate husband of a woman he was having sex with has said he “doesn’t regret it”.

The incident took place in the neighbourhood of Jardim Roriz, in the administrative region of Planaltina, in Brazil’s Federal District, in the early hours of 10th March.

The footage shows a personal trainer apparently discovering his wife cheating on him inside a parked car with the homeless man, whom he then gives a walloping.

The gorgeous wife, a churchgoer, would later tell a friend she had received a “message from God” to ‘help’ the rough sleeper.

CCTV footage shows how Eduardo Alves comes across the parked car and peeks through the windscreen, only to allegedly see his missus inside with another bloke.

He is then seen flying into a rage and banging on the glass before opening the car door and climbing inside, apparently to give the man a walloping.

The footage then shows the other man getting out of the vehicle, whom Eduardo follows, brings back to the car and then proceeds to beat the living daylights out of.

Eduardo’s partner is then seen sheepishly lying on the ground outside the car, apparently distraught and feeling helpless at the unfolding situation.

According to the news outlet Metropoles, the man’s wife and mother-in-law had left home to help the man, who was living rough.

The two then split, with Eduardo later unable to reach his wife, who was not answering her phone.

The personal trainer found his wife’s car by a primary school and, after approaching the vehicle, he came across the jaw-dropping scene.

Eduardo reportedly told the police he first thought that it was a rape he was witnessing through the windscreen.

However, his wife, whose name was not divulged, told officers the relations she was having with the man were, in fact, consensual.

She told the cops she enjoyed helping vulnerable people through the church she attends.

And she allegedly later told a friend she had received a “message from God” to help the homeless man she was caught copping off with.

The homeless man was taken to hospital with bruises and two black eyes.

Local media tracked down the homeless man, identified as 48-year-old Givaldo Alves, two weeks later and interviewed him about his side of the story.

Alves said the sexual encounter was consensual and denied knowing the woman was married.

He claimed the beautiful brunette was still willing even after he pointed out that he had not “taken a shower”.

Alves continued: “I was walking down the street and I heard a cry, ‘boy, boy’. I looked around and there was only me. And she confirmed it with me, saying, ‘do you want to go out with me?'”

He said he told her: “Girl, I have no money, I’m homeless. I don’t even have the money to take you to a hotel. So she said, ‘it can be in my car’.”

According to the interviewer for the news site Metropoles, Alves showed himself to be articulate and said he likes art and literature, adding that he used to transport dangerous products as a driver for a construction company.

Alves told local media that he was once married, has a 28-year-old daughter, and had travelled through cities in Bahia, Tocantins, Minas and Goias until arriving in Brasilia, in the Federal District.

He currently spends his time on the streets alternating between public shelters and passage houses.

When asked about being accused of rape, he said: “God put me in a place surrounded by cameras that prove there was none of that.”

Despite suffering oedema in an eye and a broken rib, Alves said “we traded punches” and claimed he only found out the woman was married when he was in hospital.

He added: “I don’t regret it.”

The Civil Police (Brazil’s investigative police force) of the Federal District continues to investigate the case.
