Riccardo Medda , the 19-year-old from Cagliari who ended up in prison on charges of attempted murder for running over a man on Via Mameli after arguing with him , availed himself of the right to remain silent during questioning this morning before investigating judge Giorgio Altieri. Defended by lawyer Riccardo Floris, he made spontaneous statements.

The boy's version clashes with the findings of the Carabinieri of the radiomobile unit . The judge has however ordered house arrest given Medda's young age . The attempted murder charge has been downgraded to that of serious and aggravated personal injury.

According to the investigations carried out by the military , Medda, driving a rented car, deliberately hit a 33-year-old from Monserrato who had intervened shortly before to quell a couple's argument. Unwelcome interference. From here an initial argument, with the intervention of the carabinieri, and then the hit immediately after the military had left. Medda was then tracked down in a bar.

The injured man suffered a serious fracture to his leg: he was assigned 40 days of treatment but the full recovery time will be more than three months.
