- Investigators using security cameras reconstructed that a 45‑year‑old Chinese man pulled a Pakistani protester into the restaurant, which set off the fighting.
- The Digos of Prato is assisting the inquiry, and police intervened as the clash spilled from the entrance into the dining area.
- Reports differ on casualties, with Il Post citing six injured and Il Fatto Quotidiano and Corriere reporting seven, including protesters, a unionist, a 45‑year‑old man, and the restaurant owner.
- Sudd Cobas, which is extending its organizing from the garment district to restaurants, called a new protest and asked the questore to evaluate suspending the venue’s license under article 100 of the TULPS.
