He robbed a woman on Viale Merello , forcefully snatching her purse and then violently throwing her against a parked car . Then he fled, but ended up in the countryside of Montixeddu , where the police stopped the man, a 31-year-old from Samassi , who had in the meantime tried to take refuge in the thick vegetation.
The alarm raised by the people who witnessed the scene and called 112 was crucial in tracking down the man , with the immediate intervention of the State Police patrols present in the area.
The patrol officers found 110 euros in cash on the man, which had been stolen from the woman's bag shortly before, which had been abandoned on the street during the escape.
The victim , who was rescued by 118 personnel, had some bruises on his arm and a big scare.
The man, who in recent days had been investigated at liberty for the hypothesis of "the crime of possession of altered keys and receiving stolen goods", was accompanied to the offices of the Police Headquarters and arrested for robbery.
The facts will be submitted to the GIP for evaluation, who will decide on the arrest during the validation hearing.
