He barricaded himself for hours in his apartment threatening to take his own life with a knife.
A 34-year-old man shut himself up at home in Gallarate (Varese) after a family dispute.
According to what emerged, he had long been suffering from personal problems.
When after a furious family argument he was left alone, he blocked the door of the house without wanting to open it anymore.
The 118 rescuers and the carabinieri intervened on the spot.
After several hours of discussion with a negotiator of the carabinieri of the Provincial Command of Varese, the 34-year-old was finally convinced to go out, letting himself go in a warm and liberating embrace with the carabiniere who persuaded him not to harm himself.
Then he was taken to the hospital in Gallarate for a clinical evaluation.
