Turin, police officer attacked: ‘Alone among the black bloc, without my helmet, I was scared’

Milan, 1 February (LaPresse) – ‘I found myself alone among the hooded people, I don’t know how many there were, but there were many, I ended up on the ground, I lost my helmet while they were kicking me, I tried to protect my head, then I felt terrible pain in my thigh’ and again: ‘I’m fine and I thank you for your support, I was just doing my duty’. This is the testimony of Alessandro Calista, 29, the officer who was beaten by a group of protesters who also hit him with a hammer yesterday in Turin, as reported by Repubblica and Corriere della Sera.
