Naples – Moments of tension yesterday morning in via Firenze, near Piazza Garibaldi, where a 30-year-old of Senegalese origins was arrested by the State Police on charges of attempted robbery, assault and resisting a public official.
The man, an illegal immigrant in the country and with a police record, was noticed by agents of the General Prevention Office while he was threatening some passers-by by brandishing a broken bottle.

The arrest of this Senegalese man makes us reflect on how security is important, but we must not forget that people in difficulty also need help and support, so a balance between justice and understanding is needed.
