A 35-year-old man from Sant'Anastasia was arrested on September 24, 2026, after allegedly assaulting his partner following a comment left by another man on the woman's social media profile.
Reported across the coverage, the argument allegedly began when the man saw a comment from an unknown man on his partner's social profile. He then allegedly demanded to check her phone, including messages, conversations and chats.
According to the press reconstructions, the assault allegedly took place inside a parked Audi in Via Romani, in Sant'Anastasia. The man allegedly struck the woman with punches and slaps during the dispute over the phone.
Two passers-by allegedly tried to stop the assault before a Carabinieri patrol arrived. Officers from the Sant'Anastasia Carabinieri station then intervened and arrested the man on charges of attempted robbery and bodily harm. He was taken to jail.
Woman treated for injuries
The woman was reported to have suffered head trauma, bruises to the face and a sprain of the cervical spine. Doctors gave her a prognosis of seven days.
The attempted robbery allegation is linked in the reporting to the man's alleged attempt to seize his partner's phone during the assault.
