Attacked on the bus by a young man who masturbated while sitting a short distance from her. "I didn't shout or react at the moment to avoid a possible lynching. But I will file a complaint: he mustn't get away with it." Veronica Schirru, a thirty-six-year-old from Iglesias, is angry but has kept her cool . This morning she had to deal with a maniac on the Arst bus during her trip between Villasimius and Cagliari.
As soon as the work season was over, he was returning home: "I don't know where he got in," he says, "he was sitting a little further forward and at a certain point he moved closer to me. I noticed that he was staring at me, but at first I didn't pay attention to it. Then I realized what he was doing."
The girl grabbed her smartphone and recorded the video, while the public transport was crossing viale Marconi: you can see a boy with Asian features touching his private parts through his sweatpants. And he looks at her.
"I knew that if he had come closer I would have reacted. But I preferred not to immediately cry scandal, chaos would have broken out and maybe someone would have been in the wrong."
The scene went on for a long time. "Then he got off at San Benedetto," the thirty-six-year-old continues, "and only then did I turn to the driver. I was assured that the images from the internal surveillance system were kept."
Once she got off, Schirru headed toward the Arst offices: "I was advised to file a complaint with the Carabinieri, so that they can proceed. I will do so today. I hope he is identified and punished. I was also told that it would not be an isolated incident. This time he found me. But I can imagine if it had happened in front of a minor: it must not happen again."
