As reported in the New York Times on December 19, 2007, a Santa Claus flying in a helicopter and carrying toys to give to poor children in Rio de Janeiro was fired upon by suspected drug traffickers. Mistaking him for a police operative, the drug traffickers hit the helicopter twice, forcing it to return to base. Santa completed his delivery by car, braving the legendary Rio street traffic.
