The two injured men were immediately treated and transported to the emergency rooms of the Brotzu and Santissima Trinità hospitals in Cagliari. The twenty-seven-year-old suffered injuries to his head and hand, while the thirty-seven-year-old was injured in his right knee; both men are expected to remain in hospital for 10 to 15 days .
Arriving quickly on the scene, the officers were able to track down the attacker nearby, but were unable to find the weapon used . Following the completion of the standard investigations, the man was taken to the Cagliari Courthouse for a fast-track trial.
