House arrest with application of an electronic control bracelet , after a serious episode of violence that occurred on October 23 in Quartu Sant'Elena , for an 18-year-old resident of the municipality.

On that date, at the intersection of Via Brigata Sassari and Via Siena in Quartu Sant'Elena, a 48-year-old man, while traveling by car with his wife, had an argument over right of way with two young brothers, who were traveling in another vehicle. An argument degenerated when the man got out of the car to clarify the situation : according to the reconstruction carried out by the carabinieri, the younger brother, a seventeen-year-old, allegedly hit the 48-year-old with punches and kicks in the face, making him fall to the ground and causing him a violent head trauma. Not only that: despite the victim being unconscious, both brothers allegedly continued to abuse him.

The man's wife , suffering from a serious illness that prevented her from intervening, witnessed the scene helplessly and immediately alerted 112.

The victim was transported in red code to the Brotzu hospital in Cagliari, where he is still hospitalized in intensive care.

The investigations, carried out by the Carabinieri of the Quartu Sant'Elena Station, were based on the analysis of images from the new municipal cameras installed in the area and on testimonies collected at the scene of the accident.

The position of the younger brother involved in the attack is being examined by the judicial authority who has already issued a provision for his placement in a community for minors .
