A Brazilian Presidential frontrunner has been stabbed on the campaign trail in the country’s South-East yesterday during one of his campaign rallies.
Jair Bolsonaro, who is leading in the polls, was stabbed in the abdomen by a 40 year old man who was then beaten by the crowd and subsequently arrested by police.
Bolsonaro has previously stirred controversy over policies his opposition called racist and homophobic.
The Presidential candidate remains in a serious but stable condition.
