A 36-year-old man has been identified and referred to judicial authorities after allegedly striking a 14-year-old boy in Castellammare di Stabia, according to a report published by Metropolis Web on 22 October 2026.
According to that report, the incident occurred in or near the Villa Comunale. The 14-year-old had reportedly been involved in an earlier argument with another adolescent before the adult intervened, described in the report as acting to defend his son.
The article reports that the adult allegedly struck the boy repeatedly with slaps and pushes. A smartphone video of the episode subsequently circulated on social media and prompted intervention by law enforcement.
Carabinieri of the Castellammare di Stabia company identified the man and referred him, while remaining free, on allegations of injury and threats, the report says.
The same report states that, at the time of publication, the victim's parents had not filed a formal complaint.
No independent source confirming the incident was identified, and the reported details on injuries, the exact time of the episode, and any further procedural developments remain unverified.
