Another attempted attack on doctors in an emergency room . It happened on Sunday night at San Francesco in Nuoro , where a 40-year-old – who had gone to the hospital in Barbagia shortly before midnight demanding to be examined immediately and admitted – began to rage against a nurse, then trying to attack and threaten him, even going so far as to shout: «If I find you outside I'll cut your head off».

They were moments of great excitement and fear . The intervention of the hospital's permanent officers and the Police Headquarters' Flying Squad was immediate, but it was not enough to restore calm. In fact, the man did not desist from his aggressive behavior towards the health worker and when the officers arrived he allegedly lunged at one of them, who had placed himself between him and the nurse to avoid the attack, pushing him.
