Sorrento – An ordinary evening turned into a dramatic public order operation for the Carabinieri of the Sorrento Company.
A young man, enraged by the end of a relationship, was arrested after violently attacking officers who responded to his ex-partner's call for help.
The siege at the ex's house and the cry for help
The incident took place last night in an apartment. The victim, a 25-year-old woman, was forced to call 112 because her ex, a 24-year-old with no criminal record, had not accepted the end of their relationship.
The man had positioned himself outside the house, creating a veritable siege and effectively preventing her from leaving.
