Holding a hammer, he attacked his ex-partner's current boyfriend, causing serious injuries to his skull.

The police arrested a 36-year-old for attempted murder.

The incident occurred in Prato. The attacker, of Albanian nationality, attacked a 33-year-old North African, his ex's new boyfriend. Only the intervention of a patrol from the mobile radio department of the Carabinieri passing by on patrol duty prevented a murder from taking place.

The soldiers saw a man bleeding from the head and trying to escape from another who was chasing him with a hammer.

The injured man was taken to hospital and is in serious condition.
