A person also stopped using pepper spray and batons by four officers of the local police of Milan. The footage, which has gone viral with a lot of controversy over violence, shows the final part of the officers' intervention against a young woman.

Milan Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating the case. Mayor Giuseppe Sala has also asked for a report on the incident, which took place in the Navigli area not far from Bocconi University. The person, a Brazilian transsexual with previous records, had been reported by the parents of the school.
