During the chase, however, the young man lost his balance, likely due to a misstep, and fell from the second floor. Despite falling several meters and hitting the ground violently, the young man managed to get up almost unaided, suffering only minor facial bruises.

An ambulance from 118 arrived quickly and transported the boy to the hospital in Caserta, where he underwent further tests to rule out any internal injuries. Doctors described his condition as “lucky,” given the circumstances of the accident.

Meanwhile, law enforcement is investigating the incident to identify the perpetrator of the theft and clarify whether he managed to disappear. The dramatic episode has sparked a strong reaction among residents in the area, concerned about the increase in crime and close to the young man, who risked his life to defend his home.
