A fifty-one year old from Cagliari was arrested by the carabinieri in via Flumentepido after trying to rob a ninety-three year old.

The incident took place this afternoon in the Is Mirrionis neighborhood when the elderly man was confronted and threatened by the criminal who wanted to steal his wallet for a few euros.

The scene was seen by a group of residents, who blocked the attacker and defended his elderly victim.

A few slaps would also have flown and the carabinieri were called. The soldiers of the Stampace station intervened to which the residents who had begun to take justice handed over the 51-year-old.

The deputy prosecutor Rossana Allieri has ordered the arrest on charges of attempted robbery and the validation hearing will be held tomorrow.
