She had just gotten off the bus, with a bottle of good myrtle under her arm to give to her family doctor, when suddenly a girl pushed her, making her fall heavily to the ground.

The story

It happened on Monday morning to an elderly woman at the stop on Via Brigata Sassari: the girl ran away and the unfortunate granny suffered six broken ribs. Among other things, yesterday the conditions of the seventy-year-old, who was in the emergency room at the Monserrato hospital awaiting hospitalization, worsened and it was necessary to put her on oxygen because she wasn't breathing well. The woman's granddaughter, Laura Pintus, told the story and launched an appeal to find witnesses: "If anyone was there that morning and saw or heard something, it would be of great help. Or better yet, if the girl in question came forward and took responsibility. She is between 17 and 18 years old, with a red jacket and more or less bob-shaped hair."

The push

It all happened around 8:50. "My grandmother is seventy years old and has several health problems," says her granddaughter, "that morning I was supposed to take her to the doctor but without saying anything, she decided to do her own thing and go alone." From her house in Pitz'e Serra she went down to the stop on Via Brigata Sassari to reach the doctor in Via Monsignor Angioni. "She had just gotten off the bus and this girl pushed her and made her fall on the sidewalk. Then she ran away in a hurry and got on another bus." Another girl and a man came to the woman's aid and called the ambulance. "Ten minutes later I arrived," says Pintus, "my grandmother didn't want to go to the hospital, so we went to the doctor who was still on vacation. So we went back home but the situation got worse here so we immediately called the ambulance."

The hospitalization

The rush to the hospital is code orange. "She hit the sidewalk and this caused her to break six ribs. So they kept her in the emergency room waiting to be admitted." The seventy-year-old is still very shaken. "It all happened in a few seconds and my grandmother found herself on the ground. We ask for help if anyone saw anything, because at that time of day there are always a lot of people at the bus stop and it is impossible that there are no witnesses. We also asked the CTM to give us the images from the cameras but they told us that they do not work."
