Yesterday, police cars intervened in the parking lot of a supermarket in the Commenda district of Brindisi following a dispute that broke out for futile reasons. Two motorists have given rise to a heated discussion during which one of the two objected to the other to arbitrarily leave the waste in containers belonging to a building other than the one in which he lives. One of the two men grabbed a scuba rifle he had in the car. The other, without hesitation, grabbed a baseball bat he had in his car. Before it got worse, the man with the baseball bat would try to get away. The other, without starting the harpoon of the diving rifle, would have “staked” with the tip of the same harpoon the rear window of his competitor’s car, shattering it. A few minutes later a police car arrived on the spot and immediately tracked down the man who had held the baseball bat, but not the one who had shattered his rear window as he had gone away.
The policemen have tracked down the other protagonist of this story who risked ending in tragedy and, after having reconstructed the dynamics of the facts, both “litigants” were reported in a state of freedom for abusive port of objects capable of offending; the man who had used the diving rifle had also been charged with the crimes of aggravated damage and aggravated threats. Both the diving gun and the baseball bat had been seized to be made available to the judicial authorities.
