"Safe Roads" in Rome: woman attacked at the "Furio Camillo" metro station

(To Army Majority State)
11/06/16

Yesterday evening the Army soldiers, engaged in the "Safe Roads" operation in Rome, intervened in defense of a woman, in obvious difficulty, who was repeatedly physically attacked by her partner.

Specifically, at the "Furio Camillo" underground station, the Army patrol was informed by some users of the metro that a heated argument had arisen between a man and a woman. Promptly, the military moved to the site and, at first, standing between the two, managed to make the attacker desist from his intent. These, of very sturdy build, began to rant and threaten the soldiers, suddenly succeeding in escaping and dragging the woman with whom he was quarreling inside a wagon in transit.

With timeliness the military alerted the police headquarters and the Army colleagues in vigilance in the next station of "Ponte Lungo", where the man still showing a very aggressive behavior, descended together with the woman. Therefore, the attacker was immediately identified and blocked by the military, assisted by an agent of the State police of the operations room of the Rome police station free from the service and by an ATAC security officer.

The aggressor was then handed over for the subsequent investigations by the police to the agents of the flying offices of the San Giovanni police station, where the individual was finally arrested and deferred to the public prosecutor for resistance and injury to a public official.
