<p>A Brazilian was so upset at his daughter dating a guy that he threatened him physically, running after him on the streets. The 39-year-old man can be seen arguing with the teenage boy at the cell phone store where&nbsp;the latter works in Vianópolis.</p>

<p>Surveillance footage shows the man following the young boy around a showcase. The boy looks frightened and tries to move away from him. But the man then pushes the showcase into the boy who runs away.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The man continues to pursue the boy and goes out of the store after him. The boy crosses onto the other side of the street, and the man follows him. He chases after him for several blocks and at one point takes out a gun and fires into the air.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The man then ran away and was ordered by the Goias Military Police order to pull over. However, he did not stop and was eventually arrested 49 miles away in Anapólis on Tuesday afternoon.</p>

<p>The police searched his vehicle and the man gave them an air gun which he claimed to have bought after the shooting incident. The cops soon found a .22 calibre revolver in his car. It was the same gun he had used while chasing the boy.</p>

Brazilian man, angry with boy dating his daughter, chases after him, fires shots

<p>A man was killed near a campaign event for a close ally of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Monday following a gunfire, authorities have said. The sound of gunfire interrupted the event. Tarcisio Freitas, the candidate running for governor of Sao Paulo, said that the incident does not appear to be linked to the event.</p>

<p>The identity of the man who died in the city's Paraisopolis neighborhood has not been revealed by the police. Sao Paulo Public Security Secretary Joao Camilo Campos said that investigations into the matter will be conducted regarding whether Freitas was the intended target or not. However, right now they believe that Freitas was not being targetted.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Brazil is currently in the grips of a presidential election, with campaigns on and a rising tide of political violence leading to security being upped.

<p>Both races now go to a runoff vote on October 30.</p>

<p>Just after the shots were heard, Freitas took to Twitter and said that he was attacked by criminals in an attempt at intimidation. But he later said he believed the incident was not related to his campaign.</p>

<p>"First of all, we are all fine. During a visit to the 1st University Hub of Paraisopolis, we were attacked by criminals," he said, adding that police had responded quickly.</p>

<p>"A criminal was shot. We are looking into details of the situation," he wrote.</p>
