A 26-year-old local man, already known to the police , was arrested last night by the Carabinieri in Cagliari for resisting a public official, after a daring escape attempt from a road block in the city centre.
The young man, riding his T-Max scooter through the city center, ignored the officers' order to stop and fled at high speed, attempting to escape . A chase ensued for approximately four kilometers through several downtown streets, during which the man repeatedly attempted to disappear.
Reached and surrounded by other patrols who had intervened to provide support, the young man abandoned the vehicle on Via Guicciardini and attempted in vain to continue his escape on foot. He was subsequently stopped, immobilized, and taken to the barracks on Via Nuoro , where he was declared under arrest.
By order of the Judicial Authority, following the completion of the formal procedures, the young man was placed under house arrest in his own home , pending the validation hearing scheduled for this morning in the Court of Cagliari.
