A pretty Brazilian cop has been arrested and suspended for stabbing her ex-boyfriend in the back and vandalising his car.
Rafaela Luciene Motta Ferreira, 40, is accused of puncturing her ex-boyfriend’s car tyres and stabbing him with a knife in the Brazilian capital Brasilia in the early hours of 28th November.
The female cop was arrested at dawn after the victim noticed a trespasser outside and went to see what was happening.
He found the suspect allegedly slashing the tyres of his Chevrolet Celta and chased after her.
After the ex-boyfriend fell to the ground during the pursuit, the suspect stopped fleeing and returned to stab him in the back with the knife.
She also bit him on the chest, according to the news site Metropoles.
At the police station, the victim claimed that the suspect could not accept the end of their relationship and filed for a restraining order.
The police confirmed that a complaint has been filed for bodily harm and an investigation is underway.
The suspect was arrested and released with conditions as the police probe continues, adding that she has been “removed from her duties due to medical leave”.
She also had to hand in her service weapon and the restraining order will be communicated to her by the court.
The policewoman was arrested in August this year for stalking another old boyfriend and threatening him, even going as far as to call him 98 times in one day, according to Metropoles.
The investigation is ongoing.
