Naples police officers injured after attack following arrest of bike thieves

[Bob]

A crowd of around two hundred angry Italians angry at an attempt to arrest two men for stealing a motorbike threw stones, bottles and food at police in Naples, injuring 12 officers.

The brawl was the latest in a string of attacks against authorities in the southern Italian city.

Wait the cops were arresting bike thieves and they were under attack? Something very wrong with them Italians.

hope those stones didn't hit any of the beeeeaauuuutiful Italian bikes :love:

Maybe Italians like to have their stuff stolen :weird:

Down town Naples can be a tough place ! , Didn't feel very safe when visited . The mob rules . Italy's version of the "Bronks". They were also talking about banning scotters from the city squares to reduce handbag snatching. (Same in Rome)

Naples is a very dodgy place. Every single person I know that's been there has either been mugged, attacked or was with someone that was. Such a shame as it's a beautiful place. Unfortunatley some of the local scum purposely target tourists, and the police.

My friend had his jacket knicked by some prats on a scooter that shot past and grabbed it off him. Wkers. Unfortunately his jacket had his wallet in it.

Decided not to stay in Naples. Ended up staying in a Pompei Hotel surrounded with Razor wire and an Electric fence , Seemed to work , it kept both the crims and the wild dogs out , quite nice inside and didn't need to go out for food. :eek5:
