A gun-toting policewoman has become a social media sensation because she protects people on the dangerous streets of Brazil by day and posts scantily-clad bikini snaps by night.

Mari Ag, 30, is a highway patrol cop in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, one of the most dangerous countries in the world that has nearly 60,000 murders a year. 

The toned policewoman decided to pursue a career as a police officer when she was a child as she wanted to help protect her community from the criminals and gangs that she says is 'so powerful and terrible in Brazil.'

She says her country is in a state of civil war and protecting innocent people is her goal. 

She said: 'The place I work has the worse criminality in the city, so we fight against heavily armed gangs that rob, kill, rape and terrify the community and the users of the federal highway.'

Brazil has nearly 60,000 murders a year, more than some warzones, and boasts 21 of the world's 50 most dangerous cities. 

The job is so dangerous that only last week two of her fellow officers were shot while on patrol.
