Overview

• Mahmoud Mohamed, 21, died in the early hours of May 21, 2025, after crashing his scooter while evading a police patrol in Milan's southeast.
• Initial police findings indicate no contact occurred between the scooter and the patrol car, and the police vehicle reportedly did not activate its light signals during the chase.
• The pursuit began when Mohamed, who lacked a driving license, attempted to flee after being spotted by police on Viale Ortles and later collided with a traffic light on Via Marco D’Agrate.
• Following Mohamed’s death at Clinica Humanitas di Rozzano, reports emerged of relatives and friends attacking medical staff and damaging hospital property.
• The incident has reignited scrutiny of police pursuit protocols and tensions in Milan’s Corvetto and Vigentino neighborhoods, echoing the 2024 death of Ramy Elgaml in a similar case.
