Artem Tkachuk, "Pino 'o pazzo" (the crazy Pino) in the hit TV series "Mare Fuori," has been charged with resisting a public official, aggravated damage, and disrupting a public service.

The actor had been taken, for reasons that have not been disclosed, to the emergency room of the Vecchio Pellegrini Hospital, in the center of Naples, where he allegedly damaged a ventilator and a door, pushing medical and security staff. He then attempted to flee but was stopped by Carabinieri officers from a local mobile patrol, who had arrived at the hospital in the meantime.

It's not the first time he's made headlines: in April 2019, when he was just 18 years old, the young man who played "Tyson" in the film "La Paranza dei Bambini," which had won the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival a few months earlier, got into a fight and was stabbed in Via Calabritto, Naples, while he was with friends.

On that occasion, he was provoked, as evidenced by footage from a local video surveillance system: it all stemmed from a slap to which Artem reacted. And the young slapper, backed by his friends, started an argument that escalated into the stabbing. Artem Tkachuk was taken to Loreto Mare Hospital, where doctors deemed him likely to recover in twenty days.
