During the extraordinary nightlife operation carried out last night by the Carabinieri in the Baretti area of the Chiaia district of Naples, a non-commissioned officer of the Naples mobile radio unit was hit by a scooter to which he had ordered to stop.

The incident occurred at 1:00 AM last night on the centrally located Via Gaetano Filangieri. The motorcyclist fled the scene, while the marshal fell after the impact, hitting his left shoulder hard on the road. He was taken by police car to the emergency room of the Ospedale del Mare hospital and immediately discharged with a 21-day prognosis. An investigation is underway to identify the perpetrator.
