He first tried to attack a policeman and a nurse , then he attacked two other officers , who ended up in hospital. It happened in Sassari, in the Bancali prison where - as reported by Sappe - «in the early afternoon of yesterday a Tunisian prisoner suddenly tried to hit, without any reason, the policeman on duty in the section who was busy accompanying the nurse for the administration of pharmacological therapies".
As underlined by Antonio Cannas, Sappe's national delegate for Sardinia, "the man was particularly agitated and began to rail against the other prisoners, creating serious problems of order and safety". Then, once moved to a waiting cell, he hit two policemen, wounding one in the face and another - with an elbow - in the eye.
The general secretary of Sappe , Donato Capece , defines some of the critical events that have recently occurred in Sardinian prisons as "simply alarming and disturbing": "There were 76 complaints for resistance and insult to a public official, a collective protest with refusal to enter the cell. But the attacks on policemen were even more serious: 13 of which saw the unfortunate victims given a prognosis of up to seven days, 2 of those with a prognosis of 8 to 20 days and 2 attacks with a prognosis of more than 20 days". Then the appeal to the Undersecretary of Justice Andrea Dalmastro , for an urgent meeting useful to «re-establish order and security, truly implementing that zero tolerance towards those violent prisoners who, even in prison, are convinced that they can continue to commit crimes with absolute impunity».
