Little girl caught up in the middle as Brazilian police unleash the batons on rioting Corinthians & Bragantino Ultras

Another incident Brazil really didn’t need with the World Cup closing in…

A mass riot broke out in the stands as Bragantino beat Cortinhians in the Paulista on Thursday afternoon.

The Tropa de Elite, the Brazilian riot force, unleashed the batons on the rabid crowd of fighting rioters to great effect, as the mob dispersed.

A shocking image of a little girl being caught up in the middle of it all is circulating in Brazilian media (as seen on post from homepage), which will of course reaffirm adult convictions that football is just too dangerous for kids to attend in Brazil.
