An Italian policeman has been placed
under investigation for excessive use of force after shooting a
44-year-old Ghanaian man who was brandishing a knife near Rome's
Termini rail station on Saturday afternoon, judicial sources
said Tuesday.
The measure is a formality in order to keep the case moving
forward, they said.
The man is now in detention at Rome's Policlinico Umberto I
Hospital.
He is not in a life-threatening condition, the hospital has
said.
Rome prosecutors have opened a separate probe into what
happened.
