The alleged attacker of Salvatore Sinagra, the thirty-year-old Italian from Favignana who is fighting for his life in the intensive care unit of the university hospital of Gran Canaria , Doctor Negrin, has been arrested.
A man was tracked down last night by the Civil Guard, who are investigating the brutal attack that took place on January 26 in a bar in Playa del Carmen, one of the main tourist resorts on the Canary Island.
It all started from a trivial disagreement, it seems that Sinagra was playing table football with some friends: "There was an argument, but nothing serious, with a young man", explains his father Andrea. "That's what my son's friends told me. He went out into the street to smoke, and one of the young men he had met in the place attacked him. Part of the scene was apparently filmed by external cameras ".
The 30-year-old underwent delicate surgery on his head to reduce a large hematoma, presumably caused by a crowbar or knuckle duster . Doctors warned of the risk of "permanent consequences."
Salvatore had been in Lanzarote for some time, where he ran a bar, but his family had set up a B&B that would open next summer, and so he had decided to give his family a hand and quickly return to Favignana, the island from which he had left for another island.
The father, having heard the news a few days ago, immediately left for the Canary Islands, together with his other son and a cousin, and while he keeps an eye on his boy's condition in hospital, he wonders how all this was possible: «Salvatore is in a coma with a cracked skull because he met the wrong person» .
