“When I realized this, I was wearing headphones, I decide to take them off, and I see that he is screaming. All the people were scared, kind of uncomfortable by what the person was doing. So, since he was yelling in a very aggressive way, I approach him and say “what’s up? Is everything okay?’, To which this person throws a fist in my face, ”says Rodrigo Anton Tambini in the video of his discharge.

“He punches me again and after that I said ‘this person just wants to attack me.’ And that’s where the recording starts. I start to defend myself and in the images you can see it. I understand that any act or type of violence is totally wrong, but it was evident that, in truth, it is an act of defense and with the security cameras I will be able to prove it, ”he adds in the video.

“I understand that there are people who spread the word and I know that many or most of them may have good intentions but unfortunately by not reporting they are causing more damage and unfairly,” Rodrigo Anton Tambini wrote on Twitter.
