Madness in broad daylight in Florence. An African immigrant smashed the window of a motorbike and scooter dealer on Via Circondaria. The non-European Union citizen used a bat in front of passers-by and was then threatened by the man with a knife. He was eventually stopped and arrested by police. “The presence of Cas dell’Orologio on Viale Corsica contributes to increasing insecurity throughout the region. The reception center should be closed immediately – said Fdi city councilor Alessandro Draghi – I believe that, at best, the Orologio building could return to being a hostel during the cold emergency. There have now been too many criminal and violent incidents in the area since CAS arrived”. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini also spoke about the incident on his social media: “Today in Florence, in broad daylight, in front of frightened citizens. Unacceptable. Thanks to the police, who immediately intervened. Zero tolerance: now, in prison.”
