Young man attacked in the middle of the night in Cannaregio with a knife: loot of 20 euros
VENICE – Thief with knife rob a passerby of 20€ in Cannaregio and escape for the arrival of one security guard army.
It happened a few days ago, in the middle of the night, precisely between last Saturday and Sunday, a few minutes after 2 in the morning. Location of the attack Rio Terà dei Franceschi a few meters from the entrance of the cinema “Giorgio”. The eventful night was told by a security guard engaged that night in some territorial control services guaranteed in the historic center by the private company “Castellano Vigilanza”.
The patrol was made up of two people who had already been protagonists in the past of some rescues and rescues that received the applause of the police. At that time the patrol shouldn’t have been there, but the two guards, who were in the nearby Salizada del Pistor for some checks, heard the yell out come from the nearby street by rushing to the spot. It was probably the presence of the two uniformed and armed vigilantes that made the thief desist and therefore limited the damage.
“There were two young men – says the security guard who intervened – one was brandishing a knife, the other was asking for help. When the attacker saw me he fled in the direction of Strada Nova. The other tried to chase him but I made him understand that it was better to stop to avoid worse situations”.
And so it was. The young man attacked then gave up retracing his steps. “And at that point he told me that he had been robbed of 20 euros – continues the guard – and that my intervention had in any case been decisive given that the criminal had ordered him to hand over the bag as well. Then at 2.13 I alerted the “112”. Find out what happened i carabinieri they asked me to stay on site with the theft victim and that they would arrive on site as soon as possible. Shortly after, in fact, the men of the Arma arrived and were identified together with the other person; then discharged to return to service in the area”. A report was also drawn up by the staff of the Castellano Vigilanza. Some have been collected testimonials also to try to trace the culprit. An attempt is also being made to verify the presence of any evidence, also thanks to the images from the cameras.
