Accused of attempted murder, the 15-year-old who stabbed a 32-year-old man in the chest in Sassari last Friday appeared yesterday before judge Stefania Palmas.

The victim of the attack had been rescued by the 118 health workers and underwent surgery after being hit with a six-inch blade. He is currently out of danger.

The minor, defended by the lawyer Patrizia Marcori, told of the violent quarrel that broke out when the 32-year-old, together with an acquaintance of his mother, had gone to via Nurra to resolve a question that arose between children.

The minor, according to what was declared, would have used the knife to defend his mother from an alleged assault by the 32-year-old, hit between the shoulder and the chest.

The boy, accused of attempted murder, is currently under house arrest in the community, where he was accompanied by police officers on Friday evening.
