Just minutes after the not-guilty verdict was announced, Luís Filipe headed for the exit. As he opened the building's front door, he stumbled and tumbled down a concrete staircase.

Journalists nearby rushed to assist Filipe, but the pain was so intense that an ambulance had to be called.

Medical staff on the scene diagnosed Filipe with a broken arm, sustained after landing on a metal railing during the fall.
