Some 50 migrants attacked and
injured two police outside a migrant camp in Foggia on Monday,
police union SAP said.
SAP said the migrants punched and kicked the officers at the
asylum seeker processing centre at Borgo Mezzanone after the
police stopped a 26-year-old Gambian who was then arrested for
trying to run them over.
SAP asked for "greater safeguards for police operating on the
street, such as tasers for example".
The officers suffered wounds that doctors said would heal in
15 and 30 days respectively.
