An attack in broad daylight in the urban center of Porto Torres . In the park of San Gavino, one of the places where kids should feel safe. Instead, in a few moments a thirteen-year-old girl was yanked and threatened with death . Together with her friend, her age, they were first intimidated and then robbed of their mobile phones. One of them suffered physical violence.

The man, 41-year-old FG from Porto Torres, already known to the police, was stopped in via Sassari, near the I Granai supermarket while waiting to get on the bus. The 41-year-old was arrested on charges of robbery and grievous bodily harm. The facts date back to last Thursday.

It was just after 1 pm when the two girls, after spending a few moments in the municipal library, decide to have a sandwich in the park, a lunch break before returning to the books.

Sitting on a bench, they scrolled through the images on their cell phone. Suddenly a man appears from behind, grabs one of them, holds her down and threatens her with a health card, as if it were a weapon. He inflicts injuries on her, then yells at her: «I'll tear you open like a pear. Get out your cell phone.'

The terrified girl replies: "Don't kill me, I'm only 13." The frightened friend also hands over the cell phone asking him to be able to keep the sim. The man didn't hesitate for a moment. He took the key from his wallet to extract the code, then disappeared. What was supposed to be a quiet day turned into hell. The girls ran away for home. They cried in despair.

«My daughter told me about the terrible episode, - says the mother of the minor - but when she showed me the marks on her neck, I realized the true gravity of what happened. So I didn't hesitate for a moment to go to the police to file a complaint". A patrol started from the barracks in via Antonelli and stopped the 41-year-old in via Sassari.
