Police spray the graffiti artist with his own paint

By Jeong Ji-su

A graffiti artist was caught painting the walls of a police station near Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Instead of arresting him, the police officer made the vandal apologize and sprayed his face all over with his own spray-paint, according to the Huffington Post on Thursday.

The entire video was posted on Live Leak two days ago, luring more than 125,000 viewers.

In the video, the tagger is seen on his knees as the officer lectures to him in Portuguese. Then, the officer shakes the can of spray-paint and sprays it on the tagger’s face for about 15 seconds.

“Now get out before I change my idea,” says the officer. The young vandal runs away quickly.

Anyone caught tagging a building in a South American country can face a fine and end up to a year in jail.
