He insults and threatens the crew of the Porto Torres Avis ambulance , alerted in Platamona for a psychiatric intervention. The episode occurred yesterday evening, around 21.30, when the 118 volunteers, on duty for a transport to the Santissima Annunziata civil hospital, arrived at the Punta Bianca beach, on the coast of Sassari, were verbally attacked by a friend of the patient , a young 20-year-old who in threatening tones tried to prevent the girl from being transferred to the emergency room.
The Avis operators, forced to barricade themselves inside the ambulance , alarmed the police, and waited for the young man to calm down before completing the operation. Moments of tension and fear, between insults and intimidation that risked escalating. Only after a few minutes did the 20-year-old disappear using public transport, while the girl remained on the spot. So the rescuers were able to accompany her to the civil hospital of Sassari.
In the meantime, a carabinieri patrol from the Porto Torres company, which intervened on the spot, viewed the images from the video surveillance cameras. "In consideration of the risks to which we are exposed, and taking into account that this type of intervention is on the increase, we are forced to equip ourselves with protection tools, - underlines Walter Chiarabaglio, president of Avis Porto Torres - therefore in the next few days I will have security cameras installed inside the ambulances to guarantee the protection of voluntary operators ".
