«Gianuario ran to the aid of a young woman, foiling a sexual assault and securing the criminal for the police. An episode that would have had a completely different ending if he hadn't intervened promptly and courageously".
Thus the president of the municipal council of Sassari, Maurilio Murru, wanted to personally thank the 55-year-old man, who on Monday evening, around 8 pm, rescued a 20-year-old girl from Sassari, while she was being attacked by Michele Fiore, a 46-year-old who ended up under arrest house arrest for attempted rape.
"Thank you for not remaining indifferent, for not having hesitated for a second and for saving the girl from moments that must have been pure terror for her," said President Murru, who wanted to meet him to pay him homage. The girl was walking along via Sant'Apollinare when the attacker grabbed her by the arm , dragging her to a secluded place after shouting dirty words at her.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation , the 55-year-old did not hesitate for a moment to intervene to save her . Michele Fiore was arrested shortly after by police officers. "Sassari is a safe city, the numbers tell us yes - adds Murru - but this does not mean that it is immune from crime and violence, it does not mean that terrible events like this cannot occur, deplorable and to be fought".
