Police in Quarto arrested a 41-year-old man after he allegedly attacked his 38-year-old ex-wife in her home, with their children present. The incident happened at night in the woman’s residence in Quarto. The couple’s children called 112, prompting the intervention of Carabinieri officers. When the Carabinieri arrived, they found the victim in the bathroom, with a face described as bruised and bleeding. The 38-year-old, visibly shaken, was unable to speak to rescuers and remained silent even as she was taken to hospital. The woman was taken to the Santa Maria delle Grazie hospital in Pozzuoli, where she was still admitted in a state of shock. Inside the home, officers found signs of violence and damage. On the floor there were broken glass and multiple damaged items. A PlayStation had been thrown against a television, and two smartphones were reportedly destroyed. The 41-year-old was found sitting in the kitchen when officers entered. He was arrested for alleged mistreatment in the family and transferred to jail. Investigators are now expected to reconstruct what happened in detail and check whether there were other episodes of violence in the relationship. The case is described as particularly dramatic because the children were in the home at the time of the alleged attack, and it was their call to the emergency number that led to the intervention.
