The two minors who yesterday afternoon allegedly pushed a fifteen-year-old against a passing train at the Seregno station (Monza Brianza) in an attempt to steal his sweatshirt have been arrested and charged with attempted murder and attempted robbery.
The fifteen-year-old was not seriously injured. The young people were taken to the police station in the evening where they were also questioned by the prosecutor of the juvenile court. At dawn, on the basis of the order executed by the Flying Squad and the Polfer, they were accompanied to the CPA in Turin. The two very young people were tracked down and taken to the police offices yesterday evening.
As it turns out, the minor was waiting for the train when he was attacked and refused to give them his sweatshirt, while he was in the company of a friend. The 15-year-old attacked by a group of peers hit the moving train with his backpack, then was dragged by the train and sucked into the vortex of air and fell.
Miraculously, he didn't end up under the train. Shortly before, while he was with a friend, a small group of peers surrounded him and demanded his designer sweatshirt. He refused and then the attack began.
The boy was returning home with a friend after going to school. The two, once they arrived on the station platform in front of the tracks, were surrounded by a group of peers, who first threatened them and then attacked them. “Take it off and give it to me,” they told the 15-year-old, referring to the sweatshirt.
He resisted and the young bullies didn't like the refusal. So the insults began until one of them lunged at the teenager and pushed him violently, making him jump back almost a meter, until he ended up against a moving train.
The train was unable to stop immediately and so the boy was hooked, perhaps by his backpack or clothes, and dragged for a few meters, until the vortex of air released from under the train sucked him in. Only then did the train driver manage to brake, thinking the worst.
