A violent episode in the middle of the night
Last night there was a serious episode of domestic violence in Calcinaia, a quiet town in the Pisa area. A man of foreign origin, already known to the police, attacked his partner while the woman was holding their month-old baby. The shocking and unacceptable scene was witnessed by a passerby who recognized the seriousness of the situation and immediately called the unified emergency number 112.
Timely intervention by the police
Thanks to the citizen's speed, the carabinieri were quickly on the scene, blocked the attacker and arrested him in the act. The man was accused of mistreatment in the family, resistance and insulting a public official, as he also reacted violently towards the soldiers who intervened. During the arrest he showed aggressive behavior, spitting and insulting the police officers and pushing and pulling them while he was being escorted to the barracks.
The consequences of the attack
The woman who was attacked suffered a wound on her lip, a clear sign of the violence she had suffered. When questioned by investigators, she revealed that she had suffered similar episodes of violence from her partner in the past. This sad story highlights a broader problem, domestic violence, which often remains hidden and silenced. After the attacker was treated in the emergency room in Pisa for drunkenness and drug use, he was transferred to prison, where he will face the consequences of his actions.
