A serious incidence of attempted kidnapping has disturbed the citizens of Viterbo, where a woman of unknown identity tried to kidnap a two-year-old girl. The event occurred on Friday evening, February 28, in Piazza del Plebiscito, while the family, consisting of father, mother and daughter, were walking.
According to the authorities, the little girl, sitting in the stroller, began to throw tantrums, thus providing an opportunity to the woman who, taking advantage of a moment of distraction of the parents, pounced on the little girl and grabbed her. Fortunately, the father immediately perceived the dangerous situation and immediately chased the kidnapper, managing to tear his daughter from her hands.
After the failed kidnapping attempt, the woman reacted by attacking her father. She insulted and punched the man in the face before disappearing into the crowd. A good number of witnesses witnessed the scene and confirmed the version of events given by the father to the police. However, by the time the authorities arrived, the kidnapper had already fled.
The investigation has been entrusted to the Flying Squad of the Viterbo Police Headquarters, which is trying to identify the woman. Investigators hope to obtain useful information through images from surveillance cameras installed in the area. Investigative sources indicate that the perpetrator could be the same woman involved in an assault on a doctor in the emergency room of the Santa Rosa hospital.
