He yells and insults passers-by in the Via Roma area of Cagliari. And when he gets too angry someone calls 911. It's happened at least twice in the last week. And in both known cases, a 46-year-old Tunisian lashed out at the rescue workers . Only thanks to their promptness no injuries were reported. But ambulance volunteers ask to be able to work safely.

The first intervention dates back to last Thursday. When the man was approached he was near Piazza Matteotti and was railing against anyone who came within range. When the 118 team approached him, he tried to punch one of the operators in the face: a colleague of the woman managed to deflect the blow.

Similar scene two days ago. New tensions on the street, further intervention by a 118 crew . After difficult moments, the Tunisian was loaded aboard the ambulance and here, taking advantage of a moment of distraction from a rescuer, he grabbed an oxygen cylinder and tried to put it on his head. Only the young man's reflexes prevented it from ending up worse. Upon arrival at Santissima Trinità, the turbulent patient was handed over to police officers.
