Thursday, July 11, 2024 - Brazilian police have launched an investigation after a Brazilian goalkeeper was shot with a rubber bullet by a police officer during a youth team match.
The incident occurred during a match
between Gremio Annapolis and Centro Oeste.
Centro Oeste won the match 2-1 before the
incident occurred after full-time, according to Brazilian newspaper Globo.
A police officer was caught shooting
a rubber bullet at Gremio Anapolis goalkeeper, Ramon Souza, who went down
straight.
His club later confirmed he'd received
treatment after being shot in the leg.
The team slammed the incident as a 'criminal
act' and vowed to ensure the officer responsible is punished.
'Gremio Anapolis comes to the public to
repudiate the unfortunate, ridiculous and revolting event, at the Jonas Duarte
Stadium, this Wednesday night, for the twelfth round of the Access Division.
After the end of the match against Central
West, our goalkeeper Ramon Souza was cowardly hit by a rubber bullet, carried
out by a police officer.
'A horrible, unbelievable and
criminal act by someone who should value the safety and integrity of the
people, who were there at the Jonas Duarte Stadium.
'July 10th is marked by a violent,
dirty and horrible act against one of our players, which will never be
forgotten.
'The GEA informs that it will take
competent measures so that the responsible person is punished and that justice
is done so that this CRIMINAL act does not go unpunished.
'Our goalkeeper was attended on the field
by GEA's doctor, Dr Diego Bento, who performed first aid.'
