The minor explained that he was assaulted when he was playing soccer with his friends in a small park in the Giugliano neighborhood, in the north of the city, by another boy, about 10 years old, who wanted the ball and, not letting him have it, stabbed him “with a knife in the left thigh and then escaped”.according to local media on Monday.
The assaulted was taken by his parents to the hospital of San Giuliano, where the health personnel determined that it was not a serious injury and a few stitches were performed. The Carabineros, alerted by the hospital, are investigating the facts and trying to identify the aggressor.
This episode of violence in Naples at such a young age is the latest of a series of recorded assaults in recent months in the city between increasingly younger people, many of whom are armed.
The large southern Italian city, traditionally affected by the criminality of the Camorra, now goes through a spiral of youth violenceThis is causing great alarm among neighbors and authorities.
In fact, the government has ordered to intensify surveillance, especially at night, as part of an “extraordinary plan” to deal with this phenomenon after in the last few weeks several teenagers have been killed by other young people of their age..
