A A 26-year-old was arrested yesterday afternoon by the police for allegedly attempting to rob a 16-year-old by assaulting him near the tramway in via degli Olmi in Florence. A defense of the young man intervened a third man that, after a brief scuffle with the robber, he would have succeeded in thwarting his intentions.
The victim, in the company of a girl of the same age, was allegedly approached by the attacker who, according to what the investigators reported, after having slipped his hands into the pockets of his jacket, he would have ordered him to hand over his cell phoneeven threatening him with death. When the young man refused, the 26-year-old Gambian allegedly attacked him, trying to take away his smartphone. Suddenly, however, the third man would enter the scene. At this point the victim managed to give the alarm to the 112nue and the police officers immediately intervened by blocking the robber. The man who intervened to help the 16-year-old preferred to remain anonymous instead, leaving before the arrival of the State Police. The 16-year-old also suffered a minor leg injury. The minors were instead both re-entrusted to their families.
