He argued with a friend over who should drive an acquaintance of theirs home and in the end he hit him with the car, causing injuries judged to heal in 25 days.
For this reason, a 35-year-old from Reggio Calabria was arrested by the Carabinieri of Villa San Giovanni on charges of attempted murder and placed under house arrest on the orders of the investigating judge following the request of the Reggio Calabria Prosecutor's Office directed by Giovanni Bombardieri.
The incident happened on February 28th. According to a reconstruction of the facts, the two men and the woman had dinner together in a restaurant. Then, at the end of the evening, a lively discussion broke out between the two over which of the two should take the woman home. An argument that continued for several minutes even outside the club. In the end, the woman decided to get into the car with one of the two while the other tried to approach the vehicle, which had just started moving, in an attempt to convince her to change her mind. At that point, the reconstruction continues, the driver suddenly stopped the vehicle, reversed for a few meters and, according to the prosecution, accelerated, hitting the "rival" and dragging him for about ten metres. He then ran away leaving him injured, with a broken foot and a trauma to his knee.
After the alarm, the police intervened on the spot and started investigations which have now led to the request for a precautionary measure.
