Italy arrests suspects after three violent attacks on women

In Catania, police arrested a 20‑year‑old foreign‑born man after he attempted to sexually assault a woman in an elevator, intervening after the victim resisted and bystanders called for help.

In Rome's Fidene district, a 41‑year‑old Sri Lankan man was detained after repeatedly striking his 38‑year‑old wife with a glass bottle, causing severe head injuries that left her in critical condition while their 12‑year‑old son watched.

A separate case in Catania involved a 30‑year‑old man who tried to strangle his partner, breaking her nose and causing a brain hemorrhage; friends on a video call alerted authorities, leading to his arrest.
