New assault occurred in the prison of Uta. An inmate, who had obtained a series of cuts along his body with a razor blade, when two officers intervened, went into a rage when they asked him to throw away the razor blade and continued to self-harm more decisively.
The officers, who wanted to take him to the infirmary, tried to block him but the prisoner hit one of the two policemen with a violent punch to the face. The other managed to block him and prevent him from continuing to self-harm or having further reactions, but in the process he suffered a sprained wrist. Both officers needed external emergency medical assistance .
"We are almost reaching a point where, to serve in a detention section, it will be necessary to wear anti-aggression protection with helmets and shields even in ordinary situations: the aggressions have reached a red code threshold ", the alarm of Michele Cireddu, general secretary of the Uil PA Penitentiary Police. " The escalation of violence shows no signs of stopping . It is legitimate to ask what interventions the Government, the State offended and brutally attacked, are ensuring to protect the representatives of legality: unfortunately currently the answer seems to be only one, nothing".
