A 28-year-old Swiss man was arrested in the Lugano region for violence and threats against police officers. He notably directed a firearm against them, which turned out to be a gas pistol, announced the Ticino police on Monday.
Shortly after midnight Sunday, he crashed into a car in Gentilino and continued on his way regardless of the condition of the other driver, who remained unharmed, however. Officers were able to locate his home, where the man opened the door after several warnings.
He then exhibited a handgun, carried out a loading movement and directed it against the police. After making threats, he finally gave up on resistance and was arrested. No one was hurt.
