Three years ago, President Bolsonaro of Brazil was accidentally stabbed in his stomach while campaigning for the election.

  • Jair Bolsonaro, aged 66, was rushed by his family to Sao Paulo Hospital on Monday.
  • Four days were spent in hospital by him for intestinal obstruction.
  • Since 2018, he has had at least four abdominal surgeries.
  • Bolsonaro received a stabbing in his stomach at a rally one month prior to his election 










According to local media, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was taken to the hospital for possible intestinal obstruction early Monday morning.

Bolsonaro, aged 66, was seen boarding the presidential plane by foot, with his entourage. He then went to Vila Nova Star hospital, Sao Paulo for stomach discomforts.

Troubling the President at a rally in 2012 caused severe intestinal damage and internal bleeding. At least four additional surgeries were required.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, pictured in Brasilia November, was taken to the hospital for treatment of an intestinal obstruction.

After suffering from intermittent gastrointestinal problems for 10 days, he was hospitalized in July. 

UOL was informed by Doctor Antonio Luiz Macedo that President Obama would be subject to several abdominal tests. 

Following a stabbing at an election rally in 2018, Bolsonaro received treatment by Dr Macedo.

Globo reported that Dr Macedo was in vacation in Bahamas, and was waiting to board a plane to Brazil so he could see Mr Bolsonaro. He reportedly did not have any public appearances on Monday.

AFP has not received any information from the presidential press office or the hospital. 

Bolsonaro was attacked at a rally in November by an attacker who had been found mentally unfit to stand trial. 

This horrifying scene was captured on multiple cameras. Bolsonaro was attacked in his stomach. 

In July (pictured), Bolsonaro was hospitalised after suffering from hiccups for ten days straight as a result of his gastrointestinal trouble

Bolsonaro, pictured in July, was admitted to hospital after he suffered from severe gastrointestinal problems for 10 days. 

While the politician was shaking hands with supporters, he was being carried by a friend on his shoulders. The assailant then rushed to the politician and thrust the knife into his stomach.

Bolsonaro collapsed and was clutching his stomach with agony.

The federal police would have normally provided a bulletproof vest to the then-candidate, but the candidate chose not to use it.
