(ANSA) - VATICAN CITY, JUN 19 - Pursuit for the capital streets between a BMW and police and Carabinieri cars.
To stop the fugitive, a 39-year-old Albanian who had forced a checkpoint near the Vatican, a shot was also fired in the direction of the car's wheels.
However, the man fled and was stopped after a brief chase by the police who used the laser to stop him.
The car with the 39-year-old on board continued its run towards via Gregorio VII where he was intercepted by a police car.
However, the man continued on his run.
During his escape he would have thrown a wallet and a watch out of the window.
To block it, a police vehicle is placed across the road: the fugitive therefore barricaded himself in the car so much that to extract it from the car it was necessary to break a window glass.
After stopping him, also thanks to the use of the taser, the 39-year-old was taken to hospital as well as two officers who were injured in the chase.
