"I was afraid my husband was dead. He was lying motionless on the sidewalk covered in blood." It is impossible to forget what happened on the night between Saturday and Sunday in Via Mameli: "I was also afraid for my son. In defending his father from the violent attack of those three, he managed to throw one of them to the ground who then hit him with something sharp, perhaps a glass bottle that had shattered shortly before. Luckily the wounds to his head, neck and side were not deep, otherwise..." At 53, a wife and mother experienced moments of terror in what should have been a night of fun. "We were going to a friend's club," the woman says. "In Via Mameli there was a big car stopped in the middle of the street. After a little while, my husband honked the horn. That's when those three young men appeared. And all hell began."
<p>The bloodstains on the ground </p>For the ferocious attack, Stefano Marcialis and Nicolò Congia (32 and 23 years old) from Quartu, and 19-year-old Davide Matteo Battocchia, resident in Sinnai, ended up in prison, as ordered by the prosecutor Andrea Vacca, on charges of serious injury. They were stopped by patrol officers while, with the same car (a Land Rover), they were on the Asse mediano. The police, coordinated by the director Massimo Imbimbo, seized a broken glass bottle, probably used during the attack.
The consequences for the 51-year-old were very serious: a 70-day prognosis and hospitalization at the Santissima Trinità awaiting surgery for fractures to the jaw and nasal septum, as well as the one to the ribs. The 24-year-old son had a tough time: a head injury and a total of 11 stitches for the cuts to the head, neck, shoulder and side. He will get away with 20 days of treatment. The 53-year-old, who intervened to defend her son, suffered some minor injuries, especially to his hands and arms. She is the one reliving those dramatic moments.
