Yesterday afternoon, on line A of the subway, BJ, 23enne Afghan, ripped the smartphone from a lady's hands and then tried to escape as soon as the doors of the wagon were opened.

The victim, shouting, drew the attention of the Army soldiers on duty within the ambit of the "Safe Roads" operation at the Numidio Quadrato stop which, despite the violent attempt of the thief, managed to stop him and to deliver it to a crew of the Tuscolano police station that had been alerted "via radio".

The Afghan was arrested and will also be responsible for receiving the offense of receiving stolen goods because, during the search carried out by the policemen, he was found in possession of a stolen ID.

In the late evening of yesterday instead, the military of the Army, during the normal activity of service conducted at the railway node of "Roma Termini", intervened to block an attacker who, in order to gain access to the underground without a ticket, had pushed the service personnel in charge of the controls.

The military blocked JLM, a 24-year-old Somali citizen. Immediate intervention by two patrols of the State Police, one of Flying Department and one from the Esquiline police station, who arrested the aggressor for resisting a Public Official and a public service officer.
