He was massacred with a baseball bat and left on the asphalt with a fractured right femur and injuries to his hip and wrist. Another aggression, still violence that flows in the heart of Pescara just three days after the gruesome episode of the girl beaten in a gym. “If the dead did not escape it is thanks to a policeman in civilian clothes and off duty, it seems a Bolognese, who did not hesitate to intervene to stop that madman who was holding the baseball bat then abandoned on a flower bed” he said. who has seen it all.
It was 2.20 pm yesterday when the drama took place on the Matteotti seafront. The witnesses, shocked and shocked, recounted those terrible moments: «A boy reached a man in the middle of the road and raged against him repeatedly hitting him with a baseball bat. He chopped it up, we feared he was dead because for a few moments we didn’t see him move. And when it seemed over, they added, the attacker tried to run over the victim with the car, a black Panda ». A circumstance also confirmed by other rumors.
«The massacred and stunned man on the asphalt shouted the name of Francesca, asking her for help. Girl that she evidently knew him and who was together with the attacker. As soon as she tried to rescue the poor fellow, the other grabbed her like a fury and, after throwing the baseball bat, dragged her towards the car. The girl tried at least twice to get out of the car while the young man at the wheel tried to run over his rival, who was struggling to get up and who, to avoid being run over, hit the roof of the Panda, leaving a conspicuous dent in the bodywork ».
Absurd and violent scenes that froze passers-by who at that moment left the beach wet from the rain. Someone shouted for help, someone else – especially the residents overlooking the balconies – took photos and videos that hopefully will be useful to the police. A police car and a police gazelle intervened on the spot. It was the military coordinated by Captain Giovanni Rolando who then dealt with the investigations with in-depth studies until the evening also to avoid fake news: the fact triggered a jumble of uncontrolled rumors that told of a beating on the beach of a bathhouse on the southern coast and then of Montesilvano: nothing true in both cases. The attack took place on the Matteotti waterfront at street number 117.
A thirty year old Italian hit with the baseball bat while the victim was identified as VR, 38 year old of Albanian origin. The causes of the beating have to be ascertained. Some witnesses spoke of a probable settling of scores between rivals in love or a matter between an alleged stalker and the girl’s partner, “so we seemed to understand”; someone spoke of a transsexual involved. Nothing certain about this either. The injured was transported by ambulance to the emergency room and “rescuers struggled to lift him from the ground.” Admitted to Ortopedia for fracture of the femur and various trauma, he will have it for 40 days. Further investigations by the carabinieri made it possible to recover the Vespa with which the 38-year-old Albanian was traveling and which was found to have been stolen last Tuesday, “the vehicle was returned to the owner, resident in Sambuceto, with a complaint for receiving stolen goods against the Albanian” .
