PHOTOS: Brazilian President, Bolsonaro Rushed To Hospital Over Intestinal Obstruction

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro was transported by air late Wednesday afternoon for medical treatment in São Paulo after his doctor diagnosed him with an intestinal obstruction earlier in the day in the capital, Brasília.

Mr. Bolsonaro was admitted to the Vila Nova Star hospital, where he underwent a series of tests, according to a statement from his doctor, Antonio Macedo. As of Wednesday evening, Mr. Bolsonaro had not required surgery.

The 66-year-old far-right leader had been complaining publicly since last week about suffering from hiccups following a July 3 surgery on a dental implant.
