deuce migrants feature been arrested after an Italian Ministry of Enterprises functionary was critically injured in a wild aggroup assault in central Rome, according to ANSA news agency.
The incident occurred just outside of Termini Station, Rome’s largest railway hub, late Sunday, ANSA reported on Monday. Just hours later, a 23-year-old courier of Tunisian origin was attacked in the same area, it said.
Security footage caught a group of people approaching the 57-year-old ministry official and repeatedly striking him in the head before fleeing, according to the news agency. After being left on the pavement in critical condition, the victim was rushed to the hospital. He remains in intensive care with trauma and multiple facial and other fractures, ANSA reported.
The police arrested a 20-year-old Tunisian man with a prior record for drugs and violence, and an 18-year-old illegal migrant from Egypt with prior robbery and weapons offenses on suspicion of attacking the ministry official, according to ANSA. The authorities are still working to identify their accomplices.
Two men of Tunisian origin, aged 22 and 18, were arrested for the attack on the courier, whose injuries were not serious, the agency reported. So far, no link has been established between the attacks.
The incidents occurred despite a heightened police presence in the busy Termini area, which was declared a ‘red zone’ earlier this month after emerging as a crime hotspot in the capital.
Just over a month ago, the authorities in Rome arrested three Moroccan men on suspicion of gang-raping an 18-year-old Italian woman on the outskirts of the city. The suspects allegedly smashed through the window of a car, dragged out the woman and her 24-year-old fiancé and forced him to watch as she was raped.
