(ANSA) – SASSARI, 23 FEB – Two prison police officers were attacked yesterday evening by an inmate in the Bancali prison and had to resort to emergency room treatment. This was reported by the regional secretary of the PolGiust union, Elia Falchi, according to whom the man first devastated his cell, flooding it and destroying the furniture, then threatened the prison policemen who were trying to intervene to calm him down. After managing to enter the overnight cell, the policemen were hit by the detainee with kicks, punches and bites.
“The two wounded officers were first medicated by the doctors on duty in the penitentiary, then accompanied to the emergency room of the Santissima Annunziata hospital for further checks”, explains Falchi. “Today more than ever the situation in our homeland prisons remains alarming and the reality is that our policemen continue to be attacked for no reason or apparent reason, perhaps the time has come for the Penitentiary Police to be equipped with those anti-aggression devices so much praised “, comments the national secretary of PolGiust, Roberto Melis.
