There is probably a dispute due to sentimental issues at the basis of the attack that took place in Orta Nova, in the province of Foggia, against an 18-year-old girl, stabbed by a girl of the same age.
The incident took place last night in the town's main square.
According to an initial reconstruction, the two young women started arguing, then one grabbed a knife and hit the other twice in the chest.
The wound was rescued and taken to the Policlinico Riuniti in Foggia where she underwent surgery. It's not life threatening.
The police are investigating the case, the weapon has not yet been found.
