The candidate posted multiple videos on his Instagram profile - see here and here - from what appeared to be a hospital room.Datena wrote in a statement: “The accusations that Marcal made against me in front of millions of people are serious. And absolutely false. I made a mistake, but I in no way regret it.”Additional footage released on September 16 by TV Cultura shows Datena attempting to grab another chair after the initial attack.
