Flávio Augusto do Nascimento (born 29 June 1986 in Bossoroca RS), commonly known as Flávio Caça-Rato or simply Caça-Rato (English: Rat Catcher), is a Brazilian footballer who last played as a forward for Decisão.
When Caça Rato was 8, his father came home drunk and tried to hang him. When he was almost being hanged his uncle saved him.[1][2]
Caça-Rato was also shot twice on 1 August 2010 in the town of Campina Barreto, Pernambuco. The incident took place during a party after a Timbauba match — the team he played for at the time. Flavio got caught in an argument with two men, and one of them pulled a gun and shot him in the right leg and on the back. After staying in a hospital, Flavio was medicated and discharged. He started playing football again after a month.[1]
