In an interview with G1, the delivery man confirmed the information and gave more details about what happened.
“I work in delivery here, I was passing by a school when I saw a fight on the sidewalk. I thought, at first, that it was a normal fight between a man and a woman. Later I found out that she was a teacher at the school. They were fighting and pulling a little girl,” said Caio Benício.
Continuing his speech, Caio reported that he did not think twice about acting to defend the child, delivering a sharp helmet blow to the attacker.
“Then I slowed down to see what was happening when the guy managed to grab the little girl and pulled out a knife. I stopped the motorcycle and saw him stabbing the little girl in the chest. I didn't have time to think. I went up, took off my helmet, even to protect myself, and hit him in the head with the helmet and he fell”, said the unlikely hero.
Later, Irish authorities confirmed the full nature of the attack, which targeted the school where the victims were. In total, five people were injured by the man Caio knocked down, three children and two adults.

When describing the feeling of witnessing the horror that was happening, the delivery man expressed the feelings of many people.
“At the time you don’t have much time to think. People ask and say it is an act of bravery, of courage. But when you see a man with a knife and a very small girl, you don't have time to think. Act on instinct. I acted on instinct. I threw the motorcycle on the ground and went up”, he pointed out.
Carioca and father of two children, Caio says that he remained at the scene supporting the child, the teacher and other people who were there until the police arrived.
