Two soldiers were attacked by a woman who, after kicking the front door of her mother’s house, attacking her and threatening her, lashed out at them.
The carabinieri involved, who intervened to save the elderly woman from her daughter’s violence, suffered injuries and ended up in the emergency room of the Pescia hospital, in the province of Pistoia, where the event occurred on the evening of Thursday 23 May, in the center citizen.
Only thanks to the professionalism of the colleagues did the event not have tragic outcomes, as they underline Bruno Pulicicchio And Riccardo Del Binorespectively provincial general secretary and deputy provincial secretary of the New Carabinieri Union of Pistoia, who expresses closeness and solidarity to the two soldiers attacked, hoping for a speedy recovery for them.
What happened highlights once again the constant commitment, dedication, spirit of sacrifice and sense of solidarity that daily animate the activity of the Carabinieri, always alongside small and large local communities.
An action that takes place in the name of protecting legality, order and public safety.
At the same time, this is yet another fact that once again puts the spotlight on the exposure to risk of police operators, especially in reference to emergency services.
It is clear that none of them should take to the streets relying on luck.
The case history regarding episodes involving soldiers more and more frequently is very broad and difficult to summarize: what is certain is that, unfortunately, the phenomenon of attacks against colleagues is continuously increasing.
The health and well-being of staff are therefore at risk.
In light of these considerations, the Provincial Secretariat of the New Carabinieri Union of Pistoia deems it necessary to make a greater commitment, in terms of coordination, between the Police Forces, the NUE 112 (European Emergency Number) and the medical staff of the 118 involved in the territory.
This could represent an important added value of intervention which, in unpredictable and highly dangerous operational situations, would at least allow us to count on greater help.
