Likewise, three agents of the National Civil Police start shouting at him, “Today the big whore is going to take you because look how you left my partner!” At that moment they put handcuffs on him, took photographs, asked for personal data and took him to the Courthouse. During the arrest they take away his bicycle, backpack, a helmet, DPI and a cap.
