Naples – The alleged perpetrator of the attack that took place last night in Piazza Dante, in the heart of Neapolitan nightlife, where a 14-year-old was stabbed in the leg during an argument, was identified and arrested within a few hours.
The young man, with no criminal record, was taken to the emergency room of the Pellegrini hospital, where doctors found he had stab wounds that were judged to heal in ten days.
He told the police that he had been attacked by a peer he didn't know, at the height of a trivial argument.

It is important that investigations are carried out to understand what happened and why. The attack on such a young boy is very worrying and more control is needed in these areas to avoid similar problems.
