Two Italians were hurt after entering a Rio favela or shanty-town by mistake Friday, the radio station CBN has reported.
The two have been moved to the Evando Freire municipal hospital, it said.
They were with other people in a car that inadvertently entered the Manguinhos community in the northern part of the Brazilian metropolis, where they were greeted by small arms fire, the media reported on police reports.
The group was returning from a party in another part of the city, at dawn Friday, when the attack happened, according to the reports.
