Brazil's Bolsonaro seriously injured in knife attack: son

Rio de Janeiro, Sept 7 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 7th Sep, 2018 ) :Brazil's right-wing presidential frontrunner Jair Bolsonaro was seriously injured Thursday when he was attacked with a knife while campaigning in the country's southeast, his son said.

Flavio Bolsonaro -- who initially described his father's wounds as superficial -- later tweeted that the 63-year-old suffered injuries to the liver, lung and intestine and had "lost a lot of blood."Images shared on social media and Brazilian television showed Bolsonaro being carried on the shoulders of a throng of supporters in the town of Juiz de Fora in southeastern Minas Gerais state, before a man lunges at his stomach.
