A couple who have never been in a fight before beat up two crooks as they tried to steal their car.
Footage captured Luísa Alexandra, a bar worker, and Fênix Oliveira, a slaughterhouse worker, as they gave the pair a walloping.
The duo, aged 18 and 27 respectively, were approached by the thieves as they got into their new car in the early hours of 20 May.

The video shows the criminals arriving on a motorcycle as one man gets off and drags Fênix out of the front seat.
A scuffle then ensues.
Fênix can be seen hurling one of the crooks to the tarmac before pummelling him, before striking him with a flying kick.
He goes back and forth between the two crooks, showering them with punches.
While he’s busy with one, Luísa restrains the other.
She then gets properly stuck in, punching one man before chasing the second down the road.
Meanwhile, a local man emerges from a house on the street to help the couple.
Luísa slams a helmet into one thief as he picks his bike up, while Fênix then gives him a clip round the ear as he rides off.
By this point, the man’s accomplice had already left the scene in Uberlândia, Brazil, on foot.
Prior to this point, they had never been in a fight before and neither had ever taken martial arts classes, as reported by Need To Know.
“When we realised they weren’t armed, we decided to fight back,” Luísa told local press.
“It’s not something I recommend to anyone but I couldn’t lose the car I had just got.
“It didn’t even have insurance yet.
“My husband was yelling for me to run but I was in a long dress and everything.
“Instead, I did the opposite.”
Luísa said the pair “played ping-pong with the thieves”.
Police chief Leandro Fernandes Araújo said: “The general advice in robbery situations is not to fight back, even if you think the criminal isn’t armed.
“You could be mistaken or caught off guard by an accomplice.
“If possible, avoid sudden movements and try to stay calm.”
