Last week it was the turn of a Tunisian, beaten to death by a mobgroup of compatriots in via Lanzi, in the heart of the nightlife.
This time the violence moves closer to the center, to Via Martiri della Libertà.

In those minutes one arrives at 112 dozens of calls made by residents of the street near the center. Two police cars arrive again but there is no trace of the group, which in the meantime has moved away towards Via di Porta San Giovanni.
Another request for intervention comes from the street of the Old Ray, where there is a half-naked and bleeding non-EU citizen who is going crazy. He is one of those who received the beating shortly before in via Martiri della Libertà but the police are unable to get closer. There are five of them, they try to block him but he, completely drunk, is very aggressive and continues to threaten them. You will need to use the taser to stop him. He is loaded into the 118 ambulance and taken to the hospital where, in addition to stitching his wounds, he undergoes mandatory medical treatment.
The police have the task of investigating the exploits of those who are irritating the nerves of those who live in different areas of the city. The residents of the street that was the scene of yet another bloody night are exasperated and are preparing a exposed that will arrive on the table of the prefect and the commissioner: «It’s like this almost every evening here now, with people drunk and under the influence of drugs and situations that can no longer be managed at the weekend.
