“Wait, wait a minute. Stop, everything is resolved. We’re here and we’ll help you with anything.” These are the words of the carabinieri who saved the life of a man in Palermo. The men of the Arma arrived in time to avert the suicide attempt and the tragedy.
The man had passed a gate and was on the railing of the Corleone bridge, a few steps from a historic city bar that had been closed since last year, when it was blocked and then calmed down. “I can’t take it anymore, I have gambling debts,” confessed the man in tears.
