Bolsonaro was rushed to the Santa Casa de Misericórdia hospital in the town of Juiz de Fora, about 125 miles (200km) north of Rio de Janeiro, where a spokeswoman confirmed he was in surgery.
Bolsonaro's son Flávio initially described the wound as “only superficial”, but later said that the injuries were more serious, tweeting that the candidate arrived at the hospital “almost dead” after losing a lot of blood.
“Unfortunately it was more serious than we hoped. The stabbing reached part of the liver, the lung and the intestines,” Flávio Bolsonaro tweeted. “His condition now appears to have stabilised. Please pray!” |
