BRAZILIAN CANDIDATE BOLSONARO STABBED
RIO DE JANEIRO. BRAZIL | 6-7 SEPTEMBER 2018
Jair Bolsonaro, a leading presidential candidate in Brazil, was stabbed on Thursday during a campaign event, though officials and his son said the injury is not life-threatening.

Numerous videos on social media showed Bolsonaro being stabbed with a knife to the lower part of his stomach. The candidate was seen flinching after the attack before going out of view.

Bolsonaro, a former Army captain, is second in the polls to ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who has been barred from running but continues to appeal.

The Associated Press is now operational from the panoramic glass studio at AP's Rio bureau.
