São Paulo Fan Claims Assault by Security Guard After Photo Request

São Paulo Fan Alleges Assault by Security Guard: A 45-year-old São Paulo F.C. supporter, Rogério Santana dos Santos, claims he was assaulted by a security guard at the Morumbi stadium. Santos alleges he was slapped in the face and pursued by the guard after attempting to take a photograph with team striker Luciano. The incident occurred in the stadium's parking lot following a match against Mirassol on Saturday. "I was with my family," Santos stated, "we were just trying to get a picture with Luciano." The São Paulo F.C. issued a statement acknowledging the incident, confirming that the security guard was a third-party contractor and has been temporarily suspended while investigations are underway. Police are currently investigating the matter. Santos's account is supported by the video, which shows a confrontation in the parking lot. The video ends with a close-up of Mr. Santos's visibly injured face. The incident highlights concerns about security measures at major sporting events and the treatment of fans.
