A fifty-year-old man was rescued this morning by the Carabinieri in Via del Fossario, in the Castello district of Cagliari.
Apparently suffering from a depressive episode, he had climbed onto the parapet and threatened to jump. Some passersby noticed what was happening and raised the alarm.
The Carabinieri arrived on the scene: by talking to him and listening to the reasons for his desperation, they managed to calm him down and get him down from the railing. The man was then entrusted to the care of 118 medics.
