Italian police on Tuesday raided a
condominium in central Turin whose residents attacked police
Friday to try to stop them arresting a drug pusher, local
sources said.
Three officers were hurt, and one disarmed, in the attack by
some 20 condo dwellers in Viale Margherita.
Police succeeded in arresting the alleged pusher and his
brother, as well as one of the attackers.
Many pushers working in the Porta Palazzo area lived in the
building, police said.
Most of the condo residents originally came from the Maghreb
region of North Africa, police said.
Police identified 50 of them, of whom 20 had criminal records
for drug pushing or theft, including five irregular immigrants.
