The fight and the wounds
According to investigators' reconstruction, the two began arguing over the alleged theft of a cell phone. Words quickly escalated into a physical altercation, culminating in the use of a bladed weapon.
Both sustained injuries during the fight. They were rescued and transported to the Marcianise hospital for treatment.
The investigations at the Police Headquarters
After being discharged and undergoing medical treatment, the two were taken to the Caserta Police Headquarters , where they underwent photodactyloscopic tests.
Following the investigation, they were reported at large to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Santa Maria Capua Vetere for aggravated assault with a bladed weapon and for violations of immigration laws.
