The officer underwent neurosurgery to evacuate a cerebral haematoma and “cranial decompression and insertion of an intracranial pressure monitoring system”, said a bulletin from the San Carlo Hospital in Milan, where he was admitted.
The Moroccan-born prisoner, Mordjane Nazim, arrived at the San Paolo 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.
Nazim had locked himself inside a bathroom before climbing out of the window and the two officers guarding him broke down the door before one of them, Carmine De Rosa, climbed out in pursuit but then slipped and fell.
