A Brazilian politician, Roberto Jefferson, an ally of far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, is in custody after throwing grenades at police officers who came to his house in Rio de Janeiro state to arrest him, wounding two of them.
A Supreme Court judge earlier ordered his detention for insulting Chief Justice Carmen Lucia, and he was already under house arrest for threatening her.
The two officers wounded by shrapnel from a grenade during the attack in Levy Gasparian, north of the state capital Rio de Janeiro were taken to hospital and later discharged.
