TRENTO. A fight broke out on the train that left Trento yesterday evening at 17:05 and was headed to Bassano. Between the stations of Trento Santa Chiara and Trento San Bartolomeo, two passengers got into an argument. This was reported by Filt Cgil of Trentino.
“The dynamics of the incident are not yet clear. discussion between two passengers on board the train which quickly turned into a fight; fortunately no passenger or worker was involved, also thanks to the promptness of the train conductor on duty who, realizing the gravity of the situation, removed all the passengers, isolating the two and immediately alerted the police. However, it was not possible to identify the two protagonistsbecause they quickly fled before the police arrived”, writes the CGIL in a note.
“It is yet another episode that demonstrates the lack of safety that exists on trains and in particular on provincial lines”, denounce Franco Pinna with Alberto Sicari of Filt Cgil del Trentino.
“Today – they add – on the routes covered by the Pat service contract there is a single police office in the Trento station, there are no longer police escorts on the train, in particular on the Valsugana line where no later than Friday 28th the chief train had to call the police due to a troublesome traveller, creating delays and cancellations.
The Valsugana line, in summer thanks to the lakes of Caldonazzo and Levicorecords a considerable number of passengers, however in several cases we have been informed of disruptive travellers in a state of altercation even before boarding the train who then show their worst side once on board. This is therefore not just a problem limited to the train but it has turned into a social problem, we therefore ask that the Pat and the institutions implement a preventive structural plan that allows for monitoring such situations upstream”.
