Overview
- A 57-year-old official from the Ministry of Enterprises was surrounded by a group in via Giolitti around 22:15 and is intubated in intensive care at Policlinico Umberto I.
- About an hour later a 23-year-old bicycle courier was attacked in nearby via Manin and hospitalized without life‑threatening injuries.
- For the assault on the official, police detained a 20-year-old Tunisian with drug-related priors and an 18-year-old Egyptian with robbery and weapons-related priors who was under an expulsion order.
- Police report four detentions connected to the two incidents, with dozens of people checked, 16 escorted to the immigration office for identification, and additional arrests during the sweep for separate offenses.
- The motive remains unclear as investigators review footage showing multiple assailants, and public debate has sharpened over enforcement of expulsion orders and urban security.
