A 55-year-old man resident in Sarno has been reported over alleged family abuse and stalking against his former partner, following an alleged assault on a beach in Ischia.

According to the account reported by Il Mattino, the man had allegedly harassed his ex-partner through stakeouts, repeated messages and persistent phone calls. The reported beach confrontation allegedly followed shouting and threats, in front of numerous tourists, with the man reported to have said: "Devi tornare con me."

Other people on the beach intervened, an intervention described as having prevented more serious consequences.

The investigation was carried out by the Carabinieri of the Sarno station and coordinated by the Naples Prosecutor's Office.

The report refers to serious indications collected against the man. It does not report a conviction, and a report does not amount to a final finding of responsibility. The identities of the people involved, the exact date of the assault and the precise beach in Ischia were not specified in the source material.
