At least 160 arrests have been made in Milan in the last four hours for new incidents that took place in the city center.
According to information, 80% are minors. It is possible that criminal prosecution may also be brought against minors for causing damage and resisting law enforcement.
On Via Torino, one of the most famous shopping streets in central Milan, groups of young people began causing damage to shops, throwing tables and chairs from businesses. Clothing and shoe stores were targeted with the crowd hitting their facades, while trash cans were moved into the middle of the street.
According to Italian media reports, groups of young people forced their way into the store, causing extensive damage. The metro station at Piazza Duomo remains closed as a precaution.
Finally, speaking to Italian media, police officers who were injured during yesterday's clashes expressed the view that every possible effort should be made to deal with this difficult situation in order to guarantee the safety of residents and tourists.
