Woman Out of Danger After Capriolo Scissors Attack, Husband Held on Suspicion of Attempted Femicide

Police say the 51-year-old, previously reported under Italy’s Red Code after alleged abuse, attacked her during a dispute that spilled into the street.

Overview

  • An emergency call around 9:40 a.m. reported a woman injured near via Largo Ochi, and medics treated neck wounds before rushing her in code red to Spedali Civili di Brescia.
  • Hospital staff stabilized the 45-year-old, who remains in serious condition with a reserved prognosis but is no longer in life-threatening danger.
  • Carabinieri detained the husband at the scene; he admitted responsibility and is jailed on suspicion of attempted femicide.
  • Investigators say the argument started inside the couple’s home and continued outside as the woman fled, where she was attacked and then aided by neighbors and responders.
  • Authorities clarified the weapon was a pair of scissors, not a knife, and they are examining prior abuse after a recent complaint that triggered the Red Code.
