Catanzaro, suspected racist attack on Sri Lankan family

A Sri Lankan family residing in Catanzaro, Italy, was targeted in a violent attack in the city's historic center on via Sensales. According to preliminary investigations, a local couple, appearing to be in a state of psycho-physical alteration, allegedly broke a glass door to enter the family's home.

The confrontation reportedly began over an accusation that the family had damaged the couple's vehicle. The incident escalated into physical violence involving kicks and punches, accompanied by racial insults. The altercation eventually moved from inside the residence to the street.

Law enforcement agencies, including the Carabinieri, State Police, and Guardia di Finanza, responded to the scene. During the struggle, the father of the family sustained facial injuries but managed to escape. A woman in the household required emergency medical assistance under a red code after suffering a severe health crisis due to stress and pre-existing diabetic conditions.
