The young girl joins her father in a back room as the suspect continues to smash up multiple display cabinets and electrical devices.

According to the police, the man was angry about a phone repair service that cost him £25 (BRL 170).

He went to the shop in Montes Claros, located about 530 miles north of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, to demand his money back.

When the owner refused, the suspect vowed to “settle the score” and returned to the shop at around 10am on Saturday (8 Jun) to carry out his revenge.

The owner, Diego Rodrigues, said he wasn’t there at the time of the attack.

His employee was working in the store in the company of his six-year-old daughter.

Rodrigues told local media: “I don’t know how to start over, I’ve called a glass specialist to get a quote and I’m still waiting.

“Customers have been turning up here today and I’ve already lost a lot of business.

“It has been very difficult.

“The guy did everything carefully, he must have premeditated everything.”

He added: “His evil was well calculated.”

The police have identified the suspect, but he remains missing since fleeing the scene, as reported by Need To Know.

The investigation continues.
