Knife fight in front of a middle school in Biella
News of
A violent fight breaks out between young people in front of a middle school in Biella, requiring the immediate intervention of parents present at the end of the school day and patrols of the State Police. The argument, whose causes are being established, is being examined among other things as possibly linked to personal jealousy, and rapidly escalates into a physical clash in front of the school gates.[1]
The clash
During the scuffle the situation worsens when one of those involved is seen handling a knife. Some parents waiting for their children step in to separate those fighting and prevent more serious consequences, until a police patrol car arrives and restores calm.[1]
Identification and report
Officers stop and identify the young person found in possession of the blade, a 14-year-old pupil, who is taken to the police station and reported. The Public Prosecutor's Office for Minors (Procura della Repubblica per i Minorenni) is informed of the case.[1]
Reactions
The incident causes strong concern among families and school staff. The school's head teacher, while not making any official statement on what happened, sends a formal request to the Biella chief of police (Questore) calling for the constant presence of a patrol at the times pupils arrive and leave school, to protect students' safety.[1]
