A 36-year-old of Egyptian origin was injured in the shoulder last night in Milan after attacking some policemen outside the Central station. The man had just been reported to the police and was going on a rampage, damaging street furniture and throwing stones. The police immediately intervened and, after trying to stop him with the taser, one of the officers shot the man, hitting him in the shoulder. The man, whose life is not in danger, is an applicant for international protection, who was apparently under the influence of drugs.
What happened
The incident happened at around 2.20am on May 10th. As reported by the Police Headquarters of the Lombardy capital, railway police officers intervened in Piazza Luigi di Savoia to stop the 37-year-old in a clear state of alteration. The man had just left the Polfer offices in Milan Centrale where he had been reported for robbery and resisting a public official. According to what was reported by the officers, the attacker had stopped, going into a rage and damaging street furniture. “The police – they explain – attempted to stop him while he was swinging a sort of rudimentary slingshot made of stones closed inside a fabric and brandishing a piece of marble recovered from a slab that he had torn away shortly before. Under the influence of narcotic substances, he he violently hurled himself at the operators who used the taser provided and, immediately afterwards, seeing that he continued to advance, one of the officers fired a service pistol, hitting the man in the left shoulder”.
