Naples – An ambush in broad daylight in one of the city's most elegant neighborhoods. It happened today, shortly before 1:00 PM, on Via Giacomo Piscicelli, a stone's throw from the heart of Chiaia.
A 19-year-old man was injured with a knife. Police immediately responded to the scene after the emergency call to 112. police of the Naples Central Company, led by Major Francesco Vitelli, to try to reconstruct the dynamics of the assault and track down those responsible.
According to an initial, sketchy reconstruction—still to be verified and the subject of investigation—the victim was calmly returning home after a walk with her dog. A routine, everyday occurrence that turned into a nightmare in a matter of seconds.
In fact, at number 72, he was approached by a small group of peers.

Attacked by a child gang
Emergency services arrived immediately. An ambulance provided first aid on the scene, and the young man was then rushed to San Paolo Hospital. Fortunately, his condition does not appear to be critical and his life is not in danger, a measure of relief in an episode that could have had a far more tragic outcome.
The Carabinieri are currently investigating the case. Investigators are analyzing footage from surveillance cameras in the area and gathering any witnesses, trying to determine the motive for the attack: a casual argument, a personal matter, or a settling of scores.
The neighborhood, usually lively and quiet, was shocked by an episode of such brutal violence in full light. The news of Naples in recent months are unfortunately full of episodes of violence by the baby gang increasingly present on the streets of the city but also in the province.
