An 18-year-old was assaulted inside a bar on via Belvedere in Aversa at around 2 a.m., according to Il Mattino.
The report says the attack began with a punch, followed by a bottle broken over the young man's head. The violence then allegedly continued with kicks, further punches, and blows struck with a watch used as an improvised knuckle-duster.
Other customers in the bar reportedly intervened. Afterward, the young man reached the street, where he was assisted by his parents.
He was taken to hospital and later discharged with a seven-day prognosis, according to the article. A complaint was reportedly filed with the Carabinieri.
The article reports that two alleged principal attackers acted together with three other young people, described as a group of five from Orta di Atella.
The identities of those allegedly involved and any legal proceedings have not been established in the available reporting.
