A 21-year-old of North African origins was arrested red-handed in Busto Arsizio, in the province of Varese, accused of having beaten and raped a 14-year-old girl he had met on social media in the street.

The girl's screams were heard by a resident who alerted 112.

When officers from a local police patrol arrived on the scene, in an abandoned area behind the train station, the 21-year-old - now in prison awaiting questioning to validate the crime - was still raping the victim.

At the hospital, doctors gave the 14-year-old, a Peruvian national, a 50-day prognosis.
