Davide Iacopini hospitalized after violent assault in Rome
Italian actor Davide Iacopini is in intensive care at San Camillo hospital in Rome following a violent assault. The 42-year-old, known for roles in ‘Suburra’ and ‘Diaz’, was riding an electric scooter in the Monteverde Vecchio district when a passenger in a passing black minicar allegedly kicked him, causing him to fall and suffer a severe traumatic brain injury.
The Rome Prosecutor's Office has opened an investigation into attempted murder. Authorities are reviewing surveillance footage to identify two occupants of the minicar, who are believed to be minors. Investigators noted that the vehicle briefly returned to the scene to retrieve a shoe lost during the attack.
This incident appears to be part of a pattern of similar attacks in the area. Several other citizens have reported being targeted by a minicar in nearly identical fashion, including a pedestrian and another scooter rider. Police are investigating whether these cases are linked to an organized group.
