Three people were detained overnight in Naples after two serious violent incidents occurred within less than an hour, according to Il Mattino.
One man suffered gunshot wounds to the legs. He was left outside the Pellegrini hospital by people who then left the scene. A second person was stabbed in a separate incident.
Initial investigative findings pointed to an ambush in the Quartieri Spagnoli. Police have not excluded any investigative lead, and investigators have not established whether the incidents were connected to organized crime.
A police pursuit also took place in the western area of Naples during the night. A patrol car was involved in a crash, and an officer required medical treatment for contusions.
The available reporting does not identify all three detainees or specify the final legal status of each. The precise circumstances of the stabbing in Fuorigrotta were not fully detailed, and a possible connection involving a third episode had not been established.
