Scene from Far West in Oschiri, where in recent days the carabinieri were forced to draw their standard pistols to stop a man who, fleeing a checkpoint, had in turn drawn a weapon.
In the end the suspect surrendered, without the situation escalating and the military proceeded to arrest him.
According to the reconstruction of the incident, on the evening of August 24, the men of the Arma ordered a stop to a car, but the driver, a 42-year-old worker, did not stop. On the contrary: he tried twice to escape, even on foot.
In the meantime, the "hunt" continued in the town and colleagues from the Ozieri mobile radio rate joined the carabinieri at the local station.
When the 42-year-old had already been reached, the military saw him reach for a gun he was carrying in his trousers. At that point, seeing the danger, they also drew their own weapon, finally managing to make him throw away his pistol and block him.
Then the handcuffs were released and the aforementioned pistol was confiscated, a Beretta model 81 in 7.65 caliber in excellent condition and ready to fire.
Other ammunition of different calibers were then recovered in the man's home.
Finally, the 42-year-old was taken to Bancali prison: in addition to escape and resistance, he will also have to answer for drunk driving and other violations of the highway code.
