Tailed and chased at night in Sassari. A 20-year-old woman was in fear in the historic center a few days ago as she was returning home. "I was driving along Corso Vittorio Emanuele and was looking for a parking spot," she said. "I found one, and suddenly a person on a bicycle came up alongside me."

The man, standing very close to the car, stared at the young woman until she accelerated and drove away. "I turned around to find another space, and the guy was still following me." So much so that, as soon as she was forced to stop for a red light, the man caught up with her again.

"I was scared and couldn't find the time to call the police or my relatives," she recalls. Above all, living in an inner, poorly lit part of Sassari Vecchia, the girl avoided parking near her home, given the tailing.

It was impossible to lose the pursuer. "I couldn't and didn't want to get off, so I kept going in circles for I don't know how long. It kept me from stopping." Luckily, a family member was also returning home, and the twenty-year-old called him for help. "As soon as he saw my relative approaching me, the other one ran away."

The fear subsided, but only for that night: "I don't feel safe at all. Going out at night can't be a gamble."
