Migrant centre riot leads to arrest of 14 in Italy

Italian police said on Monday they had arrested 14 people after disorder broke out at a detention centre for migrants near Rome following the suicide of a young man being held there. Two police officers and a soldier were injured in the disturbances on Sunday when inmates managed to force their way out into a car park, having set fire to mattresses and thrown other objects, police said in a statement. Officers fired tear gas as they struggled to regain control of the Ponte Galeria facility, a holding centre for undocumented migrants, which is close to the city’s main airport at Fiumicino. #italy #migrant #detentioncenter Subscribe to The Telegraph with our special offer: just £1 for 3 months.
