On Monday, a group of grenadiers from the command and tactical support unit "Granatieri di Sardegna", while on duty in the "Safe Roads 6" operation at the Anagnina exchange node, took action to prevent an attempted rape against a woman of Romanian nationality by her own compatriot.

The military, realizing the gravity of the situation, intervened promptly and, together with the carabiniere on duty, blocked the aggressor and had the two dressed.

The criminal, once searched, was picked up by a patrol of carabinieri intervened on the site and translated into the barracks for the investigation of the case while the woman was rescued by an ambulance called by the military and taken to the hospital.
