Chased for his cell phone in the historic center of Sassari . It happened yesterday afternoon in via La Marmora to a 26-year-old resident of the area who was returning from work.

«It was 5.30pm – he tells us on the phone – and a non-EU citizen in his forties approached accompanied by a compatriot ». The man tries to take the cell phone from the young man who, however, rebels. “He kept following me and telling me to follow him into an alley and, of course, I told him no.” But the man doesn't give up and approaches again. "He grabbed my arm violently several times trying to take me to where the other man was who, I think, was an accomplice."

At this point the 26-year-old from Sassari moves away and reaches the house from where he calls the state police. “They arrived but that person was no longer in the area.” However, in the evening, when the boy is about to go out, he finds him near the house . «He was staring at the windows and then I called the police again who told me not to let him see me. I'm sure - he reports - that they targeted me because I have a new cell phone and they saw me walking along Corso Vittorio Emanuele ."

The episode is part of a series of borderline situations that have long characterized Sassari Vecchia, including gunshots, drug dealing and police and carabinieri interventions . "Unfortunately, we see a lot of them and, even if I'm not afraid, I remain on alert."
