According to initial reports, the victim was stabbed in the back. The alarm was raised by doctors at the Trani emergency room, who notified the Carabinieri after taking the young man into care.

The rush to the hospital

The eighteen-year-old was initially rescued and transported to the Trani local hospital. His condition necessitated transfer to the Bisceglie hospital, where he died shortly thereafter.
