He barricades himself in the house, in an evident state of alteration, and threatens to blow it up. The police managed to avoid the worst by intervening this morning in Sant’Antonio Abate in via Casa Varone 166, after a report from some citizens.
They find the man – a 41-year-old with probable mental disorders probably accentuated by the use of drugs and alcohol – in the basement of a building. Standing on his bed, he opened the valve on the gas cylinder. With his hand he holds a lighter and shouts that he wants to end it. 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.
