The man who this morning, in Bonorva , attacked the mayor, Massimo D'Agostino, was arrested and taken to a security room in the carabinieri barracks .

He pointed a lighter at him and burned a lock of hair on the back of his neck.

A scuffle ensued and the mayor suffered injuries to his leg, so much so that he had to seek medical attention.

From the complaint presented by D'Agostino, the man had long had a violent attitude towards everyone: he threatened and insulted anyone, harassed the girls, disturbed the elderly and children.

He had also shown up in the offices of social workers devastating them and threatening the operators. Numerous complaints were filed, but up to now nothing had happened: «I can't take it anymore – commented the mayor on Facebook – I can't keep getting slapped and turning the other cheek but, at best, I could manage, but I can no longer allow my collaborators and my citizens to be put in conditions of risk and have to live in terror by changing the quality of their lives".

The attacker is charged with aggravated bodily harm and contempt of a public official .
