But the agents of the Municipal Police tracked him down and he was arrested for evasion from house arrest and a complaint for injuries. The protagonist is a citizen Algerian of 1976.

It was around 8 pm when a patrol from the Anti-degradation Department in transit in via Alamanni noticed a crowd of people around a man and a woman. Once they approached the agents they realized that the man, identified for a Tunisian citizen of 1977 domiciled in a town in the province, his face was bleeding.
He told of having arrived in Florence by train with the woman, an Italian citizen living in Florence, and as soon as I got off the stairs on the departures side that he felt pulled from behind, dragged for a few meters and thrown to the ground where he was hit in the face with a compass. . The man told the agents that he recognized the woman’s ex-partner adding that at the time he was under house arrest (confirmed by subsequent investigations) and providing a description of the attacker’s clothing: baseball cap, jeans, wool jacket with black and brown leather sleeves. The injured, who filed a complaint for injuries, was taken to hospital by the 118 and judged curable in 4 days.
In the meantime, the patrol went to the home where the Algerian was under house arrest. The landlord reported that the man was not present at the time but that he had returned shortly before and then went out again. In his room the officers found the black and brown jacket described by the victim. At this point the wait began for the return of the Algerian, who showed up around 9.40pm. The man was arrested for evasion from house arrest.
This morning the direct hearing was held in which the arrest and seizure of the compass with which the attack was carried out were validated. Furthermore, given that the precautionary measure of custody in prison was ordered, the man was taken to prison in Sollicciano.
