Overview

• Police say a 45-year-old allegedly assaulted his 19-year-old ex at a Varese bus stop before they boarded a public bus.
• A friend alerted the police after a tearful call from the young woman, prompting the call center to contact her directly.
• Using commercial landmarks described by the victim, the operator guided a Squadra Volante unit that intercepted the bus and made the arrest.
• Investigating judge Alessandro Chionna validated the arrest and imposed a no‑approach order requiring at least 500 meters of distance from the victim and places she frequents.
• The suspect was released under the order, faces custody if he violates it, remained silent before the judge, and the woman was taken to hospital.
