Overview

• Carabinieri arrested a 45-year-old from Rosà in flagranza on suspicion of attempted murder after the late-night attack inside the gaming venue.
• The assault unfolded around 22:50 with a kitchen knife about 14 centimeters long; the blade broke and a fragment lodged in the victim’s left elbow.
• A 51-year-old customer intervened, hid the woman among the slot machines and called 112, later saying many male patrons fled without helping.
• Investigators recovered knife fragments and secured surveillance video, and the Vicenza prosecutor’s office, led by deputy prosecutor Jacopo Corno, is coordinating the case with a validation hearing expected.
• Authorities and local leaders condemned the episode as gender-based violence; reports note past abuse dating to 2015, and the victim’s mother alleges he skipped a post-plea program for violent offenders.
