Police Probe Mistaken Identity After Hammer Attack on Manager in Frosinone

Investigators are examining whether the assailant mistook the visitor for his ex‑wife’s alleged lover.

Overview

  • A 46-year-old manager from Milan, visiting relatives in Frosinone, was attacked around 22:00 on Friday by a 48-year-old man wielding a carpentry hammer.
  • The assailant smashed the BMW X3’s window while shouting for “Stefano” and “Daniela,” and a third blow narrowly missed the victim.
  • Glass fragments injured the victim’s left eye, and he left the emergency room with a bandage and a 15‑day medical prognosis.
  • The victim’s vehicle was left unusable during his attempt to flee, and a resident later recovered the hammer and gave it to the Carabinieri.
  • The attacker has been reported for personal injuries as investigators gather evidence and witness statements to confirm a suspected misidentification tied to a similar car model and build.
