This morning in Sant’Antonio Abate the carabinieri of the mobile radio section of the Castellammare di Stabia company intervened in via Casa Varone in Sant’Antonio Abate where some citizens had reported the presence of a man who had barricaded himself in the house and was threatening to commit suicide by explode the entire house. The man – a 41-year-old with probable mental disorders probably accentuated by the use of drugs and alcohol – is in the basement of a building. He is standing on his bed and has opened the valve of the gas cylinder which he keeps next to him at that moment. With his hand he holds a lighter and shouts his desire to end it all.
The police arrive on site and see the scene from the grates of the small window. The smell of gas is very strong and the danger is imminent, there are also many homes nearby: the decision is made to intervene. The 3 soldiers burst into the room and block the man who doesn’t want to collaborate. The cylinder is taken, the valve closed, and taken outside. The situation is resolved and the 41-year-old, rescued and sedated by 118 personnel, is transferred to the Maresca hospital in Torre del Greco, he is fine and his life is not in danger.
