He hits a boy with his shoulder, a 16-year-old is beaten by his peers

(ANSA) – PALERMO, APRIL 22 – A 16-year-old was attacked by a group of his peers in Palermo for trivial reasons. It happened the night between last Saturday and Sunday in front of the Teatro Massimo. The victim is admitted to the Civic hospital with a fractured jaw, bruises on the nose, shoulder and back of the head from the beatings he suffered, with a prognosis of 15 days. The Carabinieri are investigating the case and have collected the complaint and acquired the images taken by the video surveillance cameras installed in the area which may have immortalized the scene and the escape route of the attackers. The sixteen-year-old told the police that the attacker also threatened him on social media. The young man was walking with a friend when he bumped his shoulder into a boy who was walking with his girlfriend. In response, the sixteen-year-old was punched in the face. While he was on the ground other young people hit him with kicks and punches. One of the attackers broke a bottle to hit him, but when he saw that other young people were coming to help the victim, they fled. (HANDLE).
