On Sunday May 30 – A Dutch man walked into a convenience store on Via Cavour without a mask around 10 pm and started drinking soft drinks on display. The cashier noticed that the tourist didn’t have intentions to pay, so he asked for help from the nearby police that patrol in the area for anti-nightlife checks.

The military, identified the Dutchman and ordered him to wear the anti Covid devices but he – in response – tried to remove the mask worn by the carabiniere, and then attacking him. Once restrained, he was taken to the barracks and arrested for resisting a public official and fined for not respecting the anti-contagion rules.
