In Italy, a basketball player and his wife were arrested after a clash with an ambulance crew

Italian club Virtus basketball player Luca Vildoza and his wife, Serbian volleyball player Milica Vildoza, were arrested in Bologna after an incident involving emergency medical personnel, reports Il Resto del Carlino.

The basketball player is accused of blocking the path of an ambulance and then grabbing a paramedic by the neck.

Vildoza allegedly provoked an argument and then, for no reason, attacked Red Cross workers who were traveling in an ambulance to treat the victim.

Vildoza allegedly began impeding the ambulance’s progress by braking and maneuvering until paramedics stopped to ask why he was so aggressive. The player, having shouted at the paramedics, who, according to him, were “guilty” of taking up the road and disturbing him, grabbed one of them, a 54-year-old woman, by the neck and attacked her.

At that moment, her colleagues came to her aid, and Milica Vildoza, the wife of the Virtus basketball player, intervened in the fight, grabbing the paramedic by the hair and trying to push her away.

The police arrested the player and his wife and took them to the police station, where after an investigation they spent the night under house arrest on charges of assaulting medical workers. The woman, a member of the medical team, went to the emergency department for examination.
