Atri student suspended after violent assault causes cheekbone fracture

A 16-year-old student at the Adone Zoli Institute in Atri suffered a fractured cheekbone following an assault during a physical education class. According to initial reports, two or three students approached the victim, and one delivered a violent slap to his face. The assailant, who reportedly has training in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA), caused significant injury that required surgical intervention.

School principal Paola Angeloni has suspended the student involved for 15 days. Local Carabinieri have arrived at the school to collect testimonies from students and teachers to determine the motives behind the attack.
