A grandfather died after a road rage driver kicked him in the chest in front of his 11-year-old grandson.
Cesar Fine Torresi, 77, was crossing the road on his way to a shopping centre with his grandson when a car braked suddenly in front of them.
The driver got out of his vehicle and knocked the elderly man over with a flying kick to the torso.

Mr Torresi hit his head as he fell backwards.
He was taken to hospital, but died after having three cardiac arrests, as reported on Need To Know.
The driver, Tiago Gomes de Souza, was held at the scene by a delivery courier and a homeless man.
He was later arrested by police.
The victim’s son, Bruno Cesar Fine Torresi, told local media: “The whole family cannot understand how someone could behave like this towards a white-haired elderly man with a child beside him.”
The 38-year-old said his son is “completely shaken” after witnessing the crime and will need counselling.
Mr Torresi lived in Santo André, Brazil, with his 79-year-old sister and 81-year-old brother, whom he took care of.
He leaves behind three children and six grandchildren, who were his “passion”.
The police said De Souza, 39, had several prior bookings and charges for drink-driving, threats, hate crime, and other offences.
He had no prior convictions.
De Souza claims he kicked the grandfather below the waist.
Prosecutors are reportedly preparing to charge him with homicide with aggravating factors.
The horror unfolded on 8 June in Santos, Brazil.
