Fan arrested for attacking cop

A Lazio fans was arrested Wednesday for attacking a police officer during Tuesday night's 2-1 win over Juventus at the Olimpico that saw the Turin giants go through to the Italian Cup final 3-2 on aggregate.
    After Juve's late goal by Poland striker Arkadiusz Krystian Milik that clinched the tie for the Bianconeri, a group of Lazio fans, with covered faces and belts in hand, moved into the Tribuna Tevere trying to approach the Juventus sector.
    At that point, the officers were deployed to prevent contact between the fans, and a policeman was belted in the face and head.
    He was taken to hospital and judged to be recoverable in 15 days.
    From the camera images the police were able to trace the alleged perpetrator. The young man was reached at home and was arrested.
