“His internal wounds were grave and put the patient’s life at risk,” Borsato said.
Bolsonaro who was campaigning with his supporters close to a philanthropic cancer hospital was stabbed in the lower part of his stomach by an unidentified attacker.
The assailant was later arrested while the victim was immediately taken to a hospital for emergency surgery.
