Quarrata police arrested a 19-year-old suspect in connection with two July attacks in the town, including a bottle assault that left a victim permanently disfigured. Carabinieri from the Quarrata station carried out a jail custody order issued by the judge for preliminary investigations at the Tribunal of Pistoia, at the request of the prosecutor’s office. The investigation began after two serious episodes in Quarrata’s central squares. On the evening of 8 July in Piazza Aldo Moro, the victim, a man of Pakistani origin, was approached by three young people. After he refused to hand over money, he was physically attacked. Investigators said a 19-year-old, with a minor who immobilized the victim, took 150 euros from the victim’s wallet. The victim was struck repeatedly in the face and needed medical treatment at hospital. Soon after, the same accused is alleged to have attacked another person known to the first victim, who had intervened to ask for explanations. A Carabinieri patrol arrived and the aggressor fled. A second incident, described as even more serious, took place on the night of 26 July in Piazza Risorgimento. After a demand for money was not met, the 19-year-old is accused of hitting a man of Moroccan origin in the face with a glass bottle, causing a deep cut and a permanent facial disfigurement. Passers-by intervened and the attacker ran off before police arrived. Police pieced together allegations using statements made during complaints, photo identifications carried out by the victims, and footage from the town’s video surveillance systems. The prosecutor’s office requested precautionary detention and the suspect was traced by Carabinieri and taken to Pistoia prison. The jail custody order remains in force as the case proceeds.
