SUPPORTERS of Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro have stormed Congress, the Supreme Court and presidential palace in the country’s capital.
According to reports, police have been using tear gas in an effort to stop the supporters of the far-right figure.
Thousands of demonstrators bypassed security barricades, climbed on the roofs, broke windows and invaded all three buildings, which are connected through the vast Three Powers square in Brasilia, in scenes similar to the January 6 2021 invasion of the US Capitol.
