Naples. Last night, during their territorial control service, officers from the General Prevention Office, while passing through Piazza Sannazaro, noticed a young man riding a scooter who, after pulling up alongside a parked car, pulled out a gun and pointed it at the driver of the car.

The police ordered the motorcyclist to stop and, at the sight of them, he attempted a brief escape which ended in via Mergellina where, once stopped, he accelerated again, attempting to run over the officers but was stopped and found in possession of a replica of a pistol without a red cap, a butterfly knife with a total length of 22 cm, a neck warmer and a bandana.

GR, a 21-year-old Neapolitan, was arrested for attempted robbery, assault and resisting a public official, as well as reported for carrying weapons or objects capable of causing offence; furthermore, he was charged with two violations of the Highway Code for driving without a protective helmet and for lack of insurance coverage and the motorcycle was seized.
