On the night of October 4th a man coolly walked into the reception area of Gracie Barra Nova Iguaçu, a Gracie Family licensed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gym in northern Rio de Janeiro. The man said a few words to the receptionist before vaulting over a turnstile and attempting to steal her phone.
In a video of the incident, which comes via Jornal Destaque Baixada, you can hear the receptionist - who is pulled off screen - scream for help. Seconds later the assailant is seen running back through the reception area, out the door, and along the busy street.
