Madness at dawn in Santa Maria Capua Vetere, where a man grabs a knife and lunges at the carabinieri, wounding one of them in the arm

One arrested and one wounded in the arm, therefore, the toll of the moments of madness recorded in the early hours of this morning in St. Peter's Square in Santa Maria Capua Vetere.

A second-hand dealer, SG, a 40-year-old resident of the city, for reasons still being investigated, showed up in the area brandishing a knife. The police, alerted by locals, intervened and tried to disarm him but he lunged at them.

In fact, a patrol car from the local police station and two patrols of carabinieri from the radiomobile section of the Sammaritan company arrived on the scene.

At that point, the man, at the sight of them, went even more mad looking for a way to escape, but was caught and neutralized. He is now under arrest in the barracks and is expected to be subjected to compulsory medical treatment.
