Footage has emerged of former Brazil international Fred being held at gunpoint in a terrifying moment.
The retired footballer, who is currently the sporting director for Fluminense, was on his way home from the Maracana stadium after the 1-0 win against Sao Paulo.
The video shows the 40-year-old being forced out of his vehicle after being stopped by a gang. He is then pushed to the ground where he remains whilst the robbers drive away in his car before getting up to look for help.
