Brazil’s Military Police member, 46 year old, orders the Brazilian soldier to fall while nurses and dentists stand by the side of the room.
The off-duty cop is being watched by one of the thugs who has a knife in his hands.
After being overpowered (standing near the door), the thugs were left lying on the ground.
After being shot in his arm, the second man tries to grab the gun of the officer. However, he is also wrestled onto deck.
Unnamed police officer, second-lieutenant was going to a dentist in Ceilandia, Brasilia, for a checkup on Thursday.
The footage showed two men arriving at the clinic. After taking a seat in the waiting room, they pulled out their knives to force an employee and patient into another area.
The cops then broke into the dental treatment room, as the dentist was getting ready to begin working on his teeth.
He was ordered to lie down and the thieves saw that he was playing with his wallet, trying to reach for his gun.
A man approaches, his knife drawn, but he quickly throws it over to the cop and overpowers him.
With the victim lying down on his stomach, the thieves are holding their hands up in the air while the other is leaning on him with his gun pointed at his face.
As he sits on the chair of the dentist, the officer can be seen talking with the thugs.
Shortly before the officer is overwhelmed, the thug attempts to search him.
Another thief tried to take the weapon but was also unsuccessful. He is thrown on the ground.
The man is told to stay on the ground. He then chases his accomplice and engages in a fight with him along the corridor, before forcing him to the ground.
It is unclear from the footage if the officer who was on duty shot the man in the arm, while subduing him in a corridor, although it seems so.
G1 said that he was transported to Hospital Regional de Ceilandia and his accomplice arrested on the spot.
It was not known the identities of both the police officer and the accused criminals, nor the name and address of the clinic. If the men were arrested, it was not reported.
