Fear and apprehension in Mercogliano, in the province of Avellino, where this afternoon a 13-year-old boy on a bicycle was hit in via Marconi.
The perpetrator of the accident, a man riding a scooter, did not stop to provide assistance and is being actively sought by law enforcement and the municipal police, also with the help of the area's video surveillance system.
The boy's conditions, transferred to the hospital in Avellino, are not worrying. He suffered a fractured right wrist and wounds to his mouth and teeth. The child is the youngest child of a family of Syrian refugees, converted to Christianity, adopted years ago upon his arrival in Irpinia by the Benedictine community of the Marian sanctuary of Montevergine.
The godfather of little Jabra, this is his name, was the mayor of Mercogliano, Vittorio D'Alessio.
