A family dispute escalated into a street confrontation late in the afternoon in località Lago, Castellabate, prompting the intervention of the Carabinieri.
According to reconstructions reported by Il Mattino and StileTV, two brothers, aged 26 and 19, went to their father's home with two friends to seek clarification about a family disagreement from the previous day.
After the father returned accompanied by his current partner, the situation deteriorated. The woman allegedly swung a kitchen knife at one of the young men. He avoided the blow and was not injured.
The four young men then moved away on foot. The woman followed them into the street and punctured the front-right tire of a parked car with the knife, the reports state.
Personnel from the Santa Maria di Castellabate Carabinieri station arrived shortly afterward, restored calm, and began investigating the incident.
No one involved was reported injured. The young men told officers they did not wish to file a complaint.
The full sequence of events was still being established at the time of the reports. The identities of those involved were not published, and no prosecutorial decision, formal charge, or court outcome has been reported.
