Naples – Yet another episode of violence against a taxi driver who was brutally attacked and left bleeding on the ground by a baby gang, now known for spreading terror in Piazza Vanvitelli and the surrounding areas.
Yet another demonstration of how these groups of young people feel like they own the territory, acting undisturbed and hitting anyone who happens to be in range. The incident occurred this morning, at 11:45, in the middle of the morning, when a group of young people attacked the taxi driver, guilty – in their opinion – of having made a wrong maneuver.
Only the providential intervention of the waiters of the Porzio pizzeria avoided worse consequences, helping the victim while no one present was able to stop the young attackers.
To make the situation even more serious, the absence of the police, as denounced by the lawyer Angelo Pisani, who reported the incident with tones of deep indignation.
“In a few days yet another attack, as usual we will not go into the merits for obvious reasons, there was the intervention of the police and we will leave it to the security operators to clarify their responsibilities.
We are in a city besieged by traffic and for a traffic reason even a trivial one could turn into a tragedy, we repeat we do not know the reasons for the aggression that took place in Piazza Vanvitelli, the taxi operators are tired of repeating to the competent municipal institutions that our city demands safety this is one of the reasons why we ask for institutional intervention, the people stressed by streets full of construction sites, closed streets, sky-high stress and they turn against those who work in this city, this is one of the reasons that taxi operators find themselves in daily criticality.
We ask for an intervention to protect the taxi category and all the operators of city mobility. by the Councilor for Legality, Antonio De Iesu and by the Councilor for Transport, Eduardo Cosenza”, this is the comment of the Associazione Tassisti di Base, remains close to the colleague with maximum solidarity.
