A 23-year-old man from Macerata Campania was wounded with a bladed weapon outside a venue in Coroglio, Naples, and later treated at the emergency department of San Paolo hospital.

According to Il Mattino, Carabinieri from the Naples radiomobile unit responded to the hospital after the young man arrived with wounds to his right lung and right lumbar region.

An early account, still to be verified, says the 23-year-old was surrounded by a group of young men outside the venue and struck with two slashes.

At the time of publication, the young man was awaiting his formal medical report. The motive for the attack was not known, no suspects had been identified in the acquired report, and the final clinical outcome had not been confirmed. Investigations are ongoing.
