Naples: A 15-year-old was stabbed outside school: a fight between teenagers ended in bloodshed in the heart of the historic center.
The case was resolved in three days: the Carabinieri of the San Giuseppe station reported a 14-year-old boy, believed to be responsible for the stabbing of a 15-year-old peer last Tuesday on Via Benedetto Croce, a few steps from the school they both attend.
The investigation, which began immediately after the attack, led to a rapid breakthrough. Thanks to the testimonies gathered and images from surveillance cameras in the area, investigators were able to identify the young attacker.
The 15-year-old had been hit by several stab wounds, one of which was near the spine.

The motive for the attack remains unclear.aggressionInvestigators are investigating the possibility of a fight that broke out for trivial reasons, perhaps linked to misunderstandings between classmates or rivalries that arose between groups of teenagers.
An episode that shines a spotlight on the city's growing youth violence: knives that blur too easily between youngsters, disputes that escalate in seconds and transform a trivial discussion into a near-tragedy.
Investigators continue to reconstruct the details of the incident and determine whether other youths present at the scene were responsible. The 14-year-old reported will now face charges of aggravated assault.
