A prison inmate being treated at a
Milan hospital escaped by jumping out of a second floor window
and a policeman who jumped behind him in an attempt to stop him
is now in a coma, prison union SPP said Thursday.
The incident took place at the San Paolo hospital in the
Lombardy capital.
The Moroccan-born prisoner, Mordjane Nazim, arrived at the
hospital Wednesday night after being hurt in a fight with fellow
inmates at Milan's San Vittore Prison.
The cop who tried to catch him fell and banged his head on the
ground, and is now being treated in a coma at a different
hospital, the San Raffaele.
SPP said inmate escape attempts from hospitals were on the rise
across Italy.
