Carabinieri officers from the Rimini branch arrested a 28-year-old man from the province of Salerno this afternoon for attempted murder. He is accused of attacking an 88-year-old man with a pair of scissors.
Around 3:30 PM, near the Tempio Malatestiano in the city center, the young man, following a brief argument with an eighty-eight-year-old man from the province of Pesaro and resident in Santarcangelo, which arose for trivial reasons currently being investigated , attacked the older man, striking him in the chest with a pair of scissors. Immediately after the attack, the young man ran away but was immediately tracked down and apprehended by a patrol, called by bystanders who had witnessed the incident.
The officers subsequently recovered the bladed weapon used and discarded by the 28-year-old nearby, immediately after the incident. The elderly man was transported to the emergency room of Rimini's "Infermi" Hospital, where his condition is currently critical . The attacker, who was placed under arrest by order of the Rimini Public Prosecutor's Office, was taken to prison.
