Yesterday afternoon, Wednesday, the Como State Police arrested a 26-year-old Russian citizen with no fixed address in Italy and irregular status in the country. The man had unlawfully entered the headquarters of the Fire Brigade Command on via Valleggio, in Como. The report also mentions some damage, including the glass window of a garage.

The report and initial response

Around 15.00, officers from the police headquarters patrol unit arrived at the Fire Brigade Command headquarters after being informed that someone was inside the facility. Before the police arrived, the personnel on site had restrained the 26-year-old following the damage. The patrol then took custody of the man, who was found to be agitated.

During a personal search, the Russian citizen immediately showed little cooperation. He then had an outburst of anger in the service vehicle and attempted to escape. The officers promptly restrained him. The sequence described therefore begins with the unauthorized presence at the headquarters, continues with the reported damage, and culminates in the attempt to evade control after being detained.

The initial response took place entirely in Como and involved the headquarters on via Valleggio, Fire Brigade personnel and officers from the police headquarters patrol unit. At this stage, the source places the unauthorized entry, the damaged glass window and the attempted escape before the further checks carried out by the State Police.

Operational details

Checks at Police Headquarters

Identification and behavior

The attempted escape did not result in the man getting away. In an attempt to break free from the officers, the 26-year-old kicked and punched one of the officers. The officers restrained him and then took him to Police Headquarters for fingerprint and photographic identification checks and the customary checks.

The checks uncovered several aliases, as well as various offenses related to immigration regulations and offenses against public administration, in addition to criminal convictions. The identification therefore added to the elements of the intervention the results of the checks carried out in the Police Headquarters offices.

Even while in the holding cells, the detainee maintained an aggressive attitude. This behavior was observed while he was still in police custody, before medical personnel intervened.

Because the 26-year-old was highly agitated, the officers called in medical personnel. The request was made while the 26-year-old was in the holding cells.

The part of the incident following his being taken into custody therefore includes physical contact with one of the officers, the restraint, being taken to Police Headquarters, and the carrying out of the checks. During the same period, the aliases coming to light, the offenses indicated, the criminal convictions reported in the account, and the aggressive behavior that led to the request for medical assistance all occurred. The checks and the time spent in the holding cells are described before the medical intervention.

The detainee's time at Police Headquarters therefore had a dual purpose: identification, through fingerprint and photographic checks, and management of the detainee, because of the attitude he maintained in the holding cells.
