A twenty-year-old girl was stabbed in the back by a stranger who then ran away. It happened yesterday evening, September 23, in the center of Salerno, in Largo San Tommaso d'Aquino. A passerby noticed the young woman on the ground and immediately called for help. The victim was transported to the hospital in code red: admitted to the San Giovanni di Dio e Ruggi d'Aragona hospital and then discharged during the morning, he suffered a seven centimeter wound on the back of his neck, on the right side, and another on the left hand raised presumably to protect himself. She also received a negative CT scan and a transfusion as she lost a lot of blood following the attack.
Attacker on the run
The attacker fled and has not yet been identified. The girl confirmed to the police that she did not know the person who stabbed her nor the reason why he would have done it. The State Police's investigations are therefore continuing to understand who could have attacked the young woman so violently with the knife.
