Police intervention prevented injuries when a woman hurled glass bottles at moving vehicles in Rome. Officers from the local Capitoline police force acted swiftly after the incident occurred in the Quarticciolo district, a working-class area on the capital’s eastern outskirts.
A 69-year-old man was left deeply shaken by the attack, requiring medical attention. Personnel were alerted by the responding officers.
The woman, identified as a 39-year-old homeless Cuban national with prior criminal convictions, was in a clear state of agitation when apprehended by officers from the Casilino Group. Following an investigation, she was charged with damage to property and dangerous throwing of objects. The Quarticciolo area witnessed clashes with law enforcement last winter during anti-drug operations.
