Woman Calls the Police and Pretends to Order Pizza to Report Her Abusive Husband

A victim of domestic violence called the Municipal Guard's emergency number on Sunday to ask for help and pretended to be ordering a pizza. The case took place in Paraná, Brazil, and led to the arrest of the attacker in flagrante delicto.

When the woman ordered a pizza from the employee who served her, he explained to her that he was calling an emergency number. According to g1, the woman's insistence on ordering a pizza made the employee realize that it was a call for help.

Police officer Carlos Eduardo Silva explained that the employee then asked the woman if she was being attacked to say that she wanted a pizza with toppings. The woman immediately assured that she wanted a pizza with “a lot of toppings”. The request meant that resources were immediately mobilized to the address indicated for the delivery of the supposed pizza.

When the police arrived at the house they found the victim's youngest son waiting on the street. Inside the house, the attacker was sitting on the living room sofa. "She [the assaulted woman] explained that he shows up at her house and she doesn't have the strength to make him leave," said Carlos Eduardo Silva.

According to information revealed by the Municipal Guard, the man was forced to remain away from the woman, but did not comply with the order. The victim had already called the police on other occasions, but the man always fled before the officers arrived.

This time, the woman pretended that she was ordering food, as she had seen in other cases on television, so that the man would not notice the call for help.
