He stabs two young people at a birthday party, one hit in the eye risks losing his sight

A 21-year-old of Kosovar origin was arrested by the Vicenza Mobile squad for attempted murder after seriously injuring a young man. The provision was issued by the Vicenza Prosecutor's Office, following the events that occurred on the night of 8 November in the Valletta del Silenzio area when the police, at the request of 118, intervened for two young people injured by a stab wound, one of whom was in particularly serious condition in his left eye.

The officers thus verified that on the evening of November 7, a group of young people aged between 18 and 22 had gathered to celebrate an eighteenth birthday. From the beginning of the party, the suspect allegedly behaved in a harassing manner towards those present. Around 3am, the situation degenerated: after threatening a girl with a knife, the young man attacked two boys who intervened in an attempt to calm him down, hitting them repeatedly with slashes.

During the attack, one of the victims suffered stab wounds to the left shoulder and the right subscapular region. The second young man was instead hit in the left eyebrow and eyeball, suffering serious fractures to his face and the real danger of losing his sight; he is currently hospitalized in the reserved prognosis department at the San Bortolo Hospital in Vicenza.

Having become untraceable immediately after the events, the 21-year-old was tracked down by the Flying Squad at his girlfriend's home. The home and personal search gave a positive result, allowing the clothes worn during the night of the attack to be found and seized, which had obvious blood stains and traces of mud. In light of the solid evidentiary framework gathered, which highlights a clear homicidal intent deduced from the parts of the body affected and the severity of the injuries, the Public Prosecutor in charge of the investigations issued a decree arresting the suspect in the crime. The suspect was arrested by the police and taken to prison.
