Moments of tension unfolded on Tuesday evening in Montichiari, where a 30-year-old of African descent was arrested after assaulting a police officer in an attempt to seize his firearm. The officers had been called to intervene in a domestic dispute between the young man and his sister, but upon arrival, the situation quickly escalated. The man struck one of the officers with a slap and tried to grab the service weapon from its holster.
The prompt intervention of his colleague prevented more serious consequences, as he was able to subdue and handcuff the assailant. The 30-year-old was subsequently arrested on charges of resisting a public official and personal injury; his actions were later confirmed during the summary trial.
