A congressional candidate in Brazil is recovering after his former lover stabbed him on Monday at his home in the central-western state of Mato Grosso do Sul.
Daisa Garcia, 29, assaulted Saulo Batista, 40, during an argument hours after they ended their two-year extramarital affair, police said.
The incident was unraveled after Garcia decided to stop by Batista’s condominium in the Campo Grande borough to collect her personal belongings after Batista told her he would attend a campaign event ahead of the October 12 general election.
However, Batista was in the apartment with his wife when Garcia arrived, according to a military police report obtained by Campo Grande News.
Daisa Garcia was not arrested despite stabbing her ex-boyfriend, Saulo Batista, who is a congressional candidate in Brazil, during a fight with him and his wife Monday. Garcia told police she stabbed Bautista after he and his wife assaulted her

Saulo Batista, who is running for a federal alternate seat in the October 12 elections, was stabbed Monday by his two-year-old lover in his apartment in the central-western Brazilian city of Campo Grande.
A fight ensued between the three before workers in the building intervened and removed Garcia and led her to another apartment that Batista owned one floor below.
Moments later, Batista and Garcia got into a second argument before stabbing her ex-boyfriend.
The woman told police she heard the commotion and went to the apartment but was chased by Garcia and took refuge in a room that was being renovated.
The politician, a father of two, was being treated for three non-life-threatening stab wounds to the chest at a hospital in the city of Campo Grande.
Garcia told authorities she had a protection order against the politician but she never went to court to have it lifted and continued to date him
