Actor Thiago Rodrigues, 42, is recovering at home from the attack he suffered early this Sunday (11), in Gávea, south of Rio. He was brutally attacked in an attempted robbery by a group of bandits and even lost a piece of his scalp. The artist’s manager was the one who revealed about the injury and said that Thiago is still in shock with the violence.
“He’s fine now, he was very hurt and in shock with the situation. His head was very hurt and a part of his scalp even came off”, commented Maria Morais in an interview with Quem. She also said that Rodrigues explained how the attack happened.
“It was an absurd cowardice. He was going to take a taxi. He left a party nearby and crossed to get the car and when he went to cross Santos Dumont Square he was already approached. He woke up with a lady taking care of him. But he was very hurt and unconscious until she arrived, I believe”, added the businesswoman.
Thiago was beaten when leaving a bar in Baixo Gávea, in the south of the city. The bandits took the actor’s cell phone, who was unconscious for hours and ended up being rescued by exhibitors at a traditional antiques fair in Santos Dumont Square. In the morning, he was taken to Miguel Couto Hospital, in Leblon, where he needed to take some stitches in his head.
O F5 sought out the artist, but got no response. The report also got in touch with the Municipal Department of Health, which confirmed the assistance to the actor and sent the following statement: “The management of the Miguel Couto Municipal Hospital informs that Thiago was admitted to the unit this Sunday morning (11), underwent exams, passed for wound suture procedure and was released”, says the note.
