Armed with a knife and two hammers that he had just stolen, a man threatened passersby in the center of Romano. The protagonist of the incident was a 30-year-old Albanian, who had completely lost control, probably due to drug use. He was stopped by officers of the municipal police of the eastern area of ​​Bassa.

The behavior of the 30-year-old, who was already known to law enforcement, was very alarming. The incident occurred on the afternoon of September 18, near a business that also had a bus stop, where many high school students were waiting for the bus at that moment.

 The operations center received calls from several citizens who were threatened with a folding knife by a man who was clearly in serious condition. Patrols located in the area were immediately dispatched to the scene.

When the officers, coordinated by Commander Arcangelo Di Nardo, arrived, the 30-year-old had already left. However, the analysis of the security camera footage of a business made it possible to identify him and launch a search. The rapid intervention allowed the officers to locate him a short time later in Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII. At the time of his arrest, he was holding a large hammer in each hand.

Not without difficulty, the officers managed to take the hammers from the 30-year-old, thus avoiding an escalation of the situation. During the search, a folding knife, 8 centimeters long, and about one gram of cocaine were found.

Investigations subsequently enabled the police to determine the origin of two hammers, which had been stolen that same morning from a van owned by a worker who was carrying out work in the area.

The investigative activity, through taking statements from the people involved and reviewing security camera footage, enabled officers to reconstruct a series of other episodes that had occurred during the same day, with attacks and threats against three other people, who then filed official reports./Corriere
