Rogue cop behind helicopter attack in Venezuela is Rambo-style movie actor Oscar Perez
The rogue police officer behind a helicopter attack on Venezuelan government buildings is also an action film star who paints himself as a James-Bond-Rambo figure on social media.
The government of President Nicolas Maduro said Oscar Perez, a strapping pilot, diver and parachutist, was responsible for firing shots and lobbing grenades on the Interior Ministry and the Supreme Court after hijacking the helicopter.
In a social media video, Perez said he was fighting a tyrannical, vile government.
Perez, 36, directed and starred in a 2015 Venezuelan action movie called Suspended Death about the rescue of a kidnapped businessman, which includes scenes of him firing a rifle from a helicopter and emerging from water in scuba gear.
He has an unusually public profile for the usually tight-lipped and secretive investigative police.
