A family of British tourists who made a wrong turn outside Rio de Janeiro have been shot at leaving a woman wounded.
Brazilian police said a couple and their three children were travelling in Angra dos Reis, a popular coastal holiday destination about 90 miles from Rio, the Associated Press reported.
Authorities said a group approached the car and apparently told the family to get out and then opened fire, according to AP.
A police statement said the woman was hit in the abdomen and was being treated in hospital.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "We are in touch with the local authorities in Angra dos Reis, Brazil, following reports of the shooting of a British national."
