Mayor of Reggio Emilia condemns the attack at the petrol station

"The attack that took place this evening at the service station in the Buco del Signore district and which led to the wounding of three people (fortunately not life-threatening) is serious and unacceptable. Regardless of the causes of the crazy gesture, which will be investigated and ascertained, the fact causes anger and consternation in all of us." Thus the mayor of Reggio Emilia, Marco Massari.

"I thank the police who identified and stopped the person responsible in a very short time, showing efficiency and notable professionalism. Thanks to the two people hit while they were providing assistance, thanks for their gesture of generosity and humanity. My thoughts, and those of the city, go to them, to the woman attacked and their families, in the hope that they will recover soon. Episodes like this cannot and must not find space in our community. We will continue to collaborate with all the competent institutions to ensure the safety of citizens and the serenity of the neighborhoods", he adds.
