There were moments of fear last night in Sassari, where a man was arrested by the Carabinieri after attempting a robbery while armed with a screwdriver and threatening several passersby. The incident occurred on Via Asproni, where officers from the local company's Mobile Radio Unit responded to a report of a person in a clearly altered state of mind.
Quickly arriving on the scene, the Carabinieri located and arrested the man after a brief escape attempt . Initial investigations revealed that shortly beforehand, he had threatened to kill a woman while attempting to steal her purse. The victim, who had just finished a night shift at a restaurant, was with several female colleagues at the time of the attack.
The subsequent search led to the discovery and seizure of the screwdriver . According to the reconstruction , the man had already insulted and threatened other passersby between Via Bargone and Via Crispo before the attempted robbery . After the formal procedures were completed, the arrested man was placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities and transferred to Bancali prison, where he will be held.
